Singam 2 Tamil Movie Kerala Boxoffice Collection Report

    Singam 2 is releasing in a total of 142 theatres all over kerala. Surprisingly, this is the biggest release of 2013 so far. The reduced production of mass crowd pulling movies from Malayalam film industry is evident here. So far, It was the multi-starrer movie 'Kammath and Kammath' that had the highest number of theaters on release. Kammath and Kammath which featured Megastar Mammootty and Janapriya nayakan Dileep - the biggest crowd pullers of Kerala - was released only in 96 theatres. Singam 2 also holds the record of being the biggest release by any non-malayalam film in kerala so far. Last year Thuppakki was released in 124 theatres in kerala on Diwali. Upon it's release the movie Thuppaki stormed kerala box office and went on to become a super hit in kerala. As per the trade reports the movie has grossed around 10 crores from kerala alone bringing huge profit for distributors in kerala.
       Pre-release buzz created by the movie is low in kerala since Singam 2 is produced aiming mainly the average tamilains. The popularity of Suriya in kerala and the huge theatrical release will surely ensure a decent opening collection for the movie.
       Singam 2 is receiving mixed to positive feedbacks from the theaters and the word of mouth is quite encouraging. Singam 2 takes a huge opening in Kerala and the initial day collection of the movie is whopping 1.36 crores.
       10 days gross of the movie is 4.60 crores in kerala alone. All India gross (Tamil Nadu + Kerala + Karnataka + North India) of the movie is 51.45 crores.
       The movie has collected 5.90 crores in two weeks from the theaters of kerala alone. Also, Dhanush's Maryan will pose a threat which is releasing in 75 theaters in kerala. Singam 2 got reduced to 62 theaters in the second week, the movie had many extra theaters at various centers.
    As three weeks are over after the release, Singam 2 has collected 6.70 crores from kerala. As comparison between Mohanlal and Mammootty are the part and parcel of a malayalee, it is inevitable the comparison of Surya's Singam 2 and Vijay's Thuppakki. Vijay's thuppakki collected 7.35 crores in two weeks run from kerala box office. Also the lifetime gross of the movie Thuppakki was 10.70 crores. It seems to be an impossible task for Singam 2 to cross the 10 crores barrier. The ramadan season is a main factor and also the eid releases will whitewash any of the movies running in the theaters at present.
