Even
after
completing
a
week
of
its
release,
Silmabarasan's
Maanaadu
is
ruling
hearts
and
the
box
office.
The
film
which
released
on
November
25,
has
been
garnering
favourable
reviews.
The
audience's
response
has
also
been
great.
Fans
of
the
leading
man
are
also
elated
with
the
success
of
their
idol's
latest
release.
The
unconventional
concept,
narration
and
intense
performances
of
the
actors
especially
Simbu
have
worked
in
the
favour
of
the
film.
Well
as
per
reports,
the
film
grossed
around
Rs
1
crore
on
day
8
of
its
theatrical
run
in
Tamil
Nadu,
making
the
total
collection
Rs
38
crore
(gross).
Written
and
helmed
by
Venkat
Prabhu,
the
thriller
was
released
in
Tamil
with
its
dubbed
versions
in
Telugu,
Malayalam,
Kannada
and
Hindi.
Just
a
day
before
the
release,
the
makers
announced
that
the
film
had
been
postponed
owing
to
'unavoidable
circumstances',
however,
the
issues
were
solved
by
late
evening
and
the
thriller
was
released
as
scheduled
earlier.
Previously,
the
film
was
expected
to
release
along
with
Rajinikanth's
Annaatthe,
however,
the
makers
postponed
it
to
avoid
a
clash
with
the
biggie.
Maanaadu
follows
a
youngster
(Simbu)
stuck
in
a
time
loop
trying
to
stop
an
assassination
attempt
on
the
state's
Chief
Minister.
Produced
by
Suresh
Kamatchi
under
V
House
Productions,
the
time
loop
drama
marks
Silambarasan's
second
collaboration
with
Venkat
after
their
2010
film
Goa,
in
which
the
actor
appeared
in
a
guest
role.
Apart
from
Simbu,
Maanaadu
also
stars
Kalyani
