Kaappaan,
featuring
Kollywoos
star
Suriya
and
Mollywood
legend
Mohanlal
in
the
lead,
arrived
in
theatres
on
Friday
(September
20,
2019),
opening
to
a
terrific
response
at
the
box
office.
The
KV
Anand-directed
movie
collected
close
to
Rs
7
crore
Tamil
Nadu
on
Day
1,
giving
fans
a
reason
to
rejoice.
It
stayed
strong
on
Day
2
as
well,
grossing
close
to
Rs
8
crore
at
the
TN
box
office.
Its
2-day
gross
stands
at
Rs
15
crore,
which
many
feel
is
a
solid
figure.
Chennai
Box
Office
Collections
Kaappaan
is
doing
well
in
Chennai
as
well.
It
collected
Rs
0.89
crore
on
Friday,
clicking
with
Suriya
fans.
It
did
equally
well
on
Day
2,
grossing
Rs
1.02
crore
and
remained
the
top
choice
of
the
target
audience.
Suriya
Bounces
Back?
Suriya
is
going
through
a
terrible
phase
on
the
work
front.
His
last
release
NGK,
directed
by
ace
filmmaker
Selvaraghavan,
tanked
at
the
box
office
and
added
to
his
worries.
With
Kaappaan
holding
well
at
the
ticket
window,
many
feel
that
the
24
star
is
on
the
verge
of
regaining
his
lost
glory.
However,
a
lot
will
ultimately
depend
on
whether
the
film
makes
an
impact
on
weekdays.
The
WOM
Is
Average
The
general
feeling
is
that
Kaappaan
is
a
missed
opportunity.
While
the
action-thriller
has
an
interesting
concept,
it
never
reaches
its
full
potential
due
to
the
weak
writing.
Suriya
has,
however,
received
good
reviews
for
doing
justice
to
one
of
the
most
challenging
roles
of
his
career.
As
such,
the
WOM
is
average,
which
might
create
a
problem
for
Kaappaan
once
the
initial
buzz
dies
down.
The
Road
Ahead…
Kaappaan
is
set
to
have
a
terrific
first
Sunday,
and
rake
in
the
moolah.
The
buzz
is
that
its
Day
3
Tamil
Nadu
collections
are
going
to
be
around
Rs
9
crore.
It
is
also
likely
to
have
another
Rs
1
crore
+
day
in
Chennai.
All
in
all,
Suriya
mania
is
well
and
truly
upon
us.
