Varisu vs Thunivu Box Office Collection Day 1: It was a huge celebration in the South as Ajith Kumar's Thunivu and Thalapathy Vijay-Rashmika Mandanna's Varisu released in the theatres on January 11. The films have managed to score big despite tough competition which has probably added to the craze of the two films. As per early estimates, Varisu has managed to open to Rs 21-23 crore across India with the Tamil version receiving mixed responses from the audience. On the other hand, Thunivu is estimated to mint Rs 22.5 crore.
According to Box Office India, "The Pongal period in Tamil Nadu witnessed two huge releases with Thunuva and Varisu and both took strong initials. But the clash also means a share of the market so it means the collections of both films will not be huge despite both films doing 80-90% occupancy." Adding, "It is a long extended weekend and holiday period so the films can take advantage of that but it will depend on reports."
