Cobra Day 1 Box Office Collection Worldwide: Vikram's Thriller Gets A Decent Opening

Cobra has released amidst significant hype and has had a steady opening at the box office. The numbers are not sky-high, but the film has managed to churn up good numbers.

The film has been directed by Ajay Gnanamuthu and written by a team of five writers including Ajay. It stars Vikram, Srinidhi Shetty, Mrunalini Ravi, Irfan Pathan, Roshan Mathew, Robo Shankar, KS Ravikumar, and others. AR Rahman has composed music for Cobra.

Cobra has been shot by Harish Kannan, edited by Bhuvan Srinivasan, and produced by SS Lalit Kumar, under the banner of Seven Screen Studio. The film will be distributed by Red Giant Movies.

The total collection of Cobra Day 1 across languages is estimated at about Rs. 15 Crore.

The film has been receiving mixed reviews, leaning toward positive. The consensus of the public is that the first half of the film worked better, and the second half did not manage to keep up the pace. Considering that the film is heavily reliant on its screenplay, and the story is woven from a familiar plot, the dip in its speed has invited some criticism.

The decline in pace however could be attributed to the attempt at creating drama and some intense emotional connect with the characters, but that for some reason does not work as well as it should have. Some viewers who watched the film have suggested a trim.
