Master
(Hit)
Though
the
Thalapathy-starrer
was
supposed
to
hit
the
theatres
on
April
9,
2020,
the
makers
had
to
postpone
the
release
date
owing
to
the
COVID-19
pandemic
and
the
subsequent
lockdown.
Also
starring
Vijay
Sethupathi
and
Malavika
Mohanan
in
the
lead
roles,
the
action-entertainer
collected
Rs
25
crore
on
its
opening
day
in
Tamil
Nadu.
With
its
overall
theatrical
run,
the
film
grossed
close
to
Rs
300
crore
at
the
worldwide
box
office.
Notably,
Master
became
the
biggest
worldwide
release
post
COVID-19
pandemic
and

ranking
list.

Parris
Jeyaraj
(Average)
Santhanam's
romantic-comedy
film
Parris
Jeyaraj
turned
out
to
be
an
average
venture.
Interestingly,
the
film
marked
the
actor's
second
release
to
hit
the
theatres
post
COVID-19
pandemic
after
Biskoth.
Directed
by
Johnson
K,
the

mixed
response
from
the
audience
and

4.14
crore
(net
collection)
with

three-week
theatrical
run.

film
also
starring
Anaika
Soti
was

Kamali
From
Nadukkaveri
(Average)
Though
the
film
starring
Anandhi
received
impressive
reviews
from
critics,
Kamali
From
Nadukkaveri
sadly
failed
to
pull
the
audience
to
the
theatres.
Directed
by
Rajasekar
Duraisamy,
the
film
with
its
7-day
theatrical
run
collected
Rs
0.57
crore
at

Tamil
Nadu
box

Kamali
From

released
on
February
19.
Thaen
(Average)
Though
Thaen
was
tagged
as
a
highly
engaging
film
by
the
critics,
the
Tharun
Kumar-starrer
went
largely
unnoticed
by
the
audience
owing
to
reasons
unknown.
Directed
by
Ganesh
Vinayakan,
the
film
released
on
March
19.
It
is
worth
mentioning
that
the
rural
drama
was
one
of
the
Kollywood
films
selected
to
be
screened
at
IFFI
Goa.
Eeswaran
(Flop)
Fans
and
followers
of
Silambarasan
had
high
expectations
from
Eeswaran.
However,
the
rural
drama
also
featuring
Nidhhi
Agerwal
ended
up
as
a
flop
at
the
box
office.
Helmed
by
Suseenthiran,
Eeswaran
failed
to
impress
the
cine-goers,
thanks
to
the
cliché
concept
and
slow
pace
of
the
film.
The
Silambarasan-starrer
released
on
January
14
coinciding
with
Pongal.
On
its
opening
day,
the
film
accumulated
a
net
collection
of
Rs
2
crore
with
its
theatrical
run
in
India.
Chakra
(Flop)
Vishal-Shraddha
Srinath's
Chakra
was
undoubtedly
one
of
the
highly
anticipated
films
of
the
year.
Though
the
action-entertainer
written
and
directed
by
MS
Anandan
impressed
a
section
of
the
audience,
especially
because
of
its
unique
concept,
the
film's
predictability
at
most
places
derailed
it
from
the
right
track.
Released
on
February
19,
Chakra
has
reportedly
collected
Rs
21.
5
crore
at
the
box
office.
Kalathil
Santhippom
(Flop)
Starring
Jiiva
and
Arulnithi
in
the
lead
roles,
the
sports
masala
film
Kalathil
Sandhippom
failed
to
impress
the
audience,
thanks
to
its
cliché
storyline
and
weak
writing.
Helmed
by
N
Rajasekar,
the
film
collected
Rs
2.64
crore
with
its
3-week
theatrical
run.
Trip
(Flop)
The
Dennis
Manjunath
film
turned
out
to
be
a
massive
disaster
at
the
box
office.
Starring
Yogi
Babu
and
Sunainaa,
Trip
didn't
garner
much
attention
of
the
audience
due
to
its
poor
execution
and
first
reviews
that
suggested
that
the
film
is
only
a
one-time
watch.
Mirugaa
(Flop)
The
audiences
were
disappointed
when
Mirugaa
starring
Srikanth
and
Raai
Laxmi
hit
the
theatres.
Directed
by
J
Parthiban
the
film
received
average
reviews
from
the
cine-goers
owing
to
the
occasional
predictability
and
not-so-impressive
visual
effects.
Mirugaa
was
released
on
March
5.
