Om Box Office: Where Will It Rank Among Dhanush’s Top Openers In India?

Dhanush suffered a major setback with Kara, but now he’s gearing up to make a smashing return with his next film, Om. It was supposed to release theatrically on October 16, but to avoid a clash with Rajinikanth’s Jailer 2, it got postponed to November 20. The film has generated good pre-release excitement among moviegoers due to its music and other promotional assets. This ensures a strong start is on the cards at the Indian box office.

Om is enjoying good buzz

The upcoming Tamil action thriller also stars Mammootty in a key role, which is a major attraction. Also, it marks the return of director Rajkumar Periasamy after the grand success of Amaran, thus naturally raising the excitement around the film. So far, things have fallen into place for the film, and with no major film releasing alongside, the stage is set for a solid start.

Om could register Dhanush’s biggest opening in India

Om releases next Friday and is all set for a start of 15 crore+ net at the Indian box office. In fact, it could go well above the 15 crore mark, giving it a chance to score Dhanush’s biggest opening. As of now, Tere Ishk Mein is the actor’s biggest opening with 15.81 crore. With the kind of hype the film is enjoying, it is likely to dethrone Tere Ishk Mein.

Dhanush’s most expensive film

If reports are to be believed, Om is made on a budget of 200 crore. With such a big number, it has become Dhanush’s most expensive film ever. It is even heard that the actor has charged an upfront fee of 60 crore+, accounting for a substantial portion of the massive budget. With such high costs involved, the decision to avoid a clash with Jailer 2 makes complete sense. Let’s see how it performs at the box office, as it needs to put on a terrific run to emerge as a winner.
