Jigarthanda
DoubleX,
Karthik
Subbaraj's
latest
experimental
period
action
drama
hit
the
screens
for
Diwali
on
November
10.
The
movie
featuring
Raghava
Lawrence
and
SJ
Suryah
in
the
lead
roles
opened
amid
high
expectations
but
has
been
receiving
a
cold
response
at
the
box
office.
Jigarthanda
DoubleX
Premise
The
movie
is
set
in
Madurai,
in
1975.
A
gangster
named
Allius
Ceaser,
who
looks
very
intimidating,
aspires
to
become
the
first
dark-skinned
hero
in
the
Tamil
film
industry
and
he
eventually
hires
an
aspiring
director
Ray
Dasan,
who
was
a
former
assistant
director
to
Satyajit
Ray.
They
together
begin
a
movie
titled
Pandyaa.
Jigarthanda
DoubleX
Total
Business
Going
by
the
available
information,
including
the
promotional
costs,
the
movie
was
made
on
a
budget
of
about
Rs
65
Crore.
The
movie
made
a
worldwide
pre-release
business
of
Rs
36
Crore
and
the
Telugu
theatrical
rights
were
sold
for
Rs
6
Crore.
The
movie
can
achieve
break-even
only
after
making
a
gross
of
Rs
70
Crore
or
Rs
36
Crore
in
share
value.
The
movie's
trailer
and
promotional
activities
worked
in
favour
of
the
film's
release
and
the
buzz
was
great.
The
advance
ticket
bookings
for
Jigarthanda
DoubleX
are
also
exciting.
The
movie
hit
the
screens
on
over
1200
screens
in
Tamil
Nadu
alone
and
it
was
released
on
500
screens
in
the
two
Telugu-speaking
states
of
Andhra
Pradesh
and
Telangana.
Shockingly,
Jigarthanda
DoubleX
had
registered
fewer
openings
than
Karthi's
Japan.
It
is
now
looking
forward
to
making
the
most
out
of
the
Diwali
weekend.
