Reportedly, Kanchana 3 has opened to decent reports in the theatres in Tamil Nadu with the family audiences giving a thumbs up to the movie. Going by the reports on social media and the crowd that the film had on the first day, the film is expected to have grossed above Rs 10 crore on its first day at the Tamil Nadu box office. According to trade analyst Ramesh Bala, the movie has released on more than 2600 screens across the world. Released in about 500 screens in Tamil Nadu, the audience had given an impressive response to the advance booking of tickets for Kanchana 3 which was a clear indication of the film getting a good start in the state.
He later tweeted, “#Kanchana3 takes a Blockbuster opening in Telugu states also.. Completely dominated B and C Centers yesterday..”
If reports are to be believed, Raghava Lawrence has now become the fifth actor to have a movie in the 10-crore club on its first day itself at the Tamil Nadu box office. Let us wait for an official update regarding the day 1 collections of the movie to know more about this. As per the trade trackers, the Good Friday holiday was one of the major reasons why the movie attracted good footfalls in theatres. Further, the success of the past movies in the Muni franchise helped the film to pull the audience to cinema halls, say trade trackers.
