The
political-satire
LKG,
which
features
RJ
Balaji
and
actress
Priya
Anand
in
the
lead,
hit
the
screens
on
Friday(February
22,
2019)
and
opened
to
a
good
response
at
the
box
office.
Additional
shows
were
added
on
the
opening
day
and
this
helped
it
rake
in
a
decent
amount.
The
film
also
managed
managed
to
secure
early
morning
shows
and
this
worked
in
its
favour.
After
taking
a
good
opening,
the
film
continued
its
good
run
at
the
box
office
on
Saturday(February
23,
2019)
and
Sunday(February
24,
2019)
and
emerged
as
the
top
choice
of
the
target
audience.
LKG
3
Days
Collections
According
to
the
latest
trade
reports,
LKG
collected
Rs
1,38
crore
at
the
Chennai
box
office
in
3
days
and
ended
is
first
weekend
on
a
good
note.
The
figures
are
simply
phenomenal
considering
the
fact
that
RJ
Balaji
is
not
a
big
name
or
an
A-lister.
A
Free
Run
LKG
hit
screens
alongside
Udhayanidhi
Stalin
and
Tamannaah's
Kanne
Kalamane.
However,
Seenu
Ramaswamy's
film
did
not
affect
RJ
Balaji's
film
at
all
as
it
is
a
rural-drama
which
is
meant
for
the
B
and
C
centres.
The
limited
competition
and
the
witty
content
seem
to
have
helped
LKG
rake
in
the
moolah.
The
WOM
Is
Good
The
concensus
is
that
LKG
is
a
pretty
entertaining
satire
as
it
deals
with
quite
a
few
burning
issues
in
a
witty
and
biting
way.
RJ
Balaji
has
been
praised
for
delivering
a
sincere
performance.
Most
people
feel
that
his
writing
abilities
have
supported
his
acting
style
quite
well.
Priya
too
has
managed
to
make
an
impact
with
her
confident
performance.
All
in
all,
the
Word
Of
Mouth
is
quite
healthy
and
this
is
a
big
blessing
for
LKG.
The
Road
Ahead...
LKG
is
likely
to
have
a
free
run
at
the
box
office
for
a
few
more
days
and
remain
stable.
Given
the
healthy
WOM,it
is
unlikely
to
show
a
major
dip
on
the
weekdays.
In
other
words,
it
is
set
to
emerge
as
a
neat
hit.
RJ
Balaji's
career
as
leading
man
seems
to
have
started
off
on
a
terrific
note.
