In the past few years, all film industries in India have seen huge growth, and their potential has been increasing with each passing day. Specifically talking about Kollywood, without much support from the Hindi belt, their films are doing wonders globally. Except for 2.0, all other releases did superb business without any prominent help from the Hindi dubbed version.
As we reported for day 6, Leo earned a humongous sum of 466.55 crores gross at the worldwide box office. While the numbers for day 7 are yet to come, it is safe to say that the Thalapathy Vijay starrer has crossed Ponniyin Selvan 1’s 482.70 crores gross, as the difference between the two was just 16.15 crores gross. With this, Kollywood has now got its new third highest-grosser of all time.
