Ajith
has
been
getting
stupendous
responses
for
his
latest
release
Valimai.
The
actioner
opened
to
a
record
start
in
Tamil
Nadu
and
collected
a
staggering
Rs
36.17
Crore.
With
the
feat,
it
also
emerged
as
the
highest-grossing
film
as
it
surpassed
Master
starring
Thalapathy
Vijay.
On
Friday,
Saturday
and
Sunday,
the
film
continued
its
winning
streak
as
it
collected
Rs
24.62
Crore,
Rs
20.56
Crore
and
Rs
27.83
Crore
respectively
from
the
state.
However,
starting
from
Monday,
the
film
saw
a
downward
trend,
as
its
collection
figures
lowered
as
expected.
On
days
5
and
6
(Monday
and
Tuesday),
Valimai
garnered
Rs
8.45
Crore
and
Rs
10.90
Crore
respectively,
making
the
total
collection
of
the
entertainer
Rs
128.43
Crore.
The
film
indeed
benefitted
from
the
Maha
Shivratri
holiday,
wherein
it
could
collect
more
moolah
than
on
a
weekday.
Now,
as
per
early
trends,
the
film
has
managed
to
collect
Rs
5
Crore
(approx)
at
the
Tamil
Nadu
box
office
on
Wednesday
(day
7).
Well,
a
lot
is
being
predicted
about
Valimai's
closing
collection
and
it
remains
to
be
seen
what's
in
store
for
the
team
and
fans
of
the
leading
man.
There
is
definitely
quite
some
hype
around
the
film,
and
therefore
this
very
factor
might
help
it
pull
more
audiences
to
the
theatres
in
a
long
run.
The
actioner's
plot
centers
around
an
upright
cop
Arjun,
who
is
assigned
to
track
down
a
group
of
outlaw
bikers
having
a
criminal
background.
Upon
its
release,
the
film
received
a
thunderous
response.
Though
the
film
was
expected
to
woo
the
audience
(of
course
with
its
content),
the
Ajith-starrer
proved
that
the
hype
was
mere
hoopla
that
had
a
lot
to
do
with
the
leading
man's
superstardom.

project,

production
banner
