Is 'Yennai Arindhaal' a profitable venture?

Thala Ajith's Gautham Vasudev Menon directed Yennai Arindhaal took a decent opening worldwide. It has grossed nearly Rs 50 crores world wide in its first four days opening weekend - Feb 5 to 8.

In Tamil Nadu alone the film has grossed approximately Rs 32 Cr with a net (after tax) of Rs 24.5 Cr. Considering the non-holiday release schedule, it is decent and showed Ajith's opening power. In other territories like Kerala and Karnataka, the film is doing average business.

In Kerala, Yennai Arindhaal managed to gross Rs 2.8 crores and in Karnataka, the film has grossed 3.7 crs (approx).Though, the film did rocking business in USA by collecting 400k$, the opening in UK and Australia is not up to the level of other biggies like Kaththi and I.

Overall, the opening weekend gross of the film is nearly 50 crores, with a net box office around Rs 35 Cr worldwide, which is good. The film carries mixed reports and at the end, may emerge as just an average grosser.

TamilBoxOffice1 : #Kaththi is still the highest grosser of 2014 in Malaysia!!

Kumaran, Kaththi is still the highest grosser of 2014? Yeah, you're right. No movie can beat that record. Because year 2014 is gone.

BO OFFICE REPORTS - YENNAI ARINDHAAL 1ST DAY WORLD BOX OFFICE COLLECTION

Ajith Kumar’s Yennai Arindhaal opened up grander than the reported screens. Initially, it was mentioned that it will have a TN release in just 500 screens, but gradually struck the 582 mark on the spur of moment. This is an authentic report from one of the leading film traders of the globe and the first day collection of this film is as follows.

TN - 12.80 CRORES – 582 SCREENS

KERALA – 3.75CRS 110 SCREENS

KARNATAKA – 2.54 CR 80SCREENS

REST OF INDIA – 1.36CRORES 50 SCREENS

OVERSEAS - 9.75CRORES 450 SCREENS

TOTAL – 30.20 CRORES APPROXIMATELY


It is worth mentioning that Ajith Kumar films usually are bound to action and violence that many female audiences wouldn’t prefer to watch. But with Gautham Vasudev Menon adding more romance, emotions and family elements to this film, it has drawn family audiences into the theatres. With the shows house packed for the entire weekend, we can expect Yennai Arindhaal to scale the great heights in box office. For now, it becomes the second biggest opener in the recent times with Lingaa collecting 37Crores and Vikram’s I with 27Crores and Kaththi – 23 Crores approximately on the first day worldwide.

Bro... some one may fooled u. All the details are not correct exp KERALA – 3.75CRS 110 SCREENS. If u want I can get actual figures of kerala

How generous to mention a $480K+ collected movie (in 5 days weekend) as $400K and compare it to a 6 days weekend movie.

This is what US distributor says about the hurdles this movie faced in US and still made money for them.

ATMUS Entertainment @ATMUSent
This is winter release, non festival release and beat prev thala best by a mile.

With all this negative factors Yennai Arindhaal 5 days weekend collection including premier shows = $480432
Per day collection = $96086

The movie which he compares,

kathi 6 days weekend collection including premier shows = $570207
Per day collection = $95034

This is for US.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now for AUS,

Yennai Arindhaal's 4 days weekend collection = $153,680
Per day collection = $38,420

Kathi 5 days weekend collection = $160,979
Per day collection = $32,196

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Tamil Nadu,

Yennai Arindhaal's 4 days weekend gross = 32C
Per day gross = 8C

Kathi 5 days weekend gross = 36c
Per day gross = 7.2C

Now, deducting 1st days collection of both the films to know how well the respective movies held at box office from day 2,

Yennai arindhaal's 1st day (Thurs) TN gross = 11C.
So the remaining 3 days TN weekend gross = 32C - 11C = 21C
Per day gross from Fri, Sat and Sun = 7C (mixed word of mouth.. average grosser.. seriously.. you arsehole..)


Kathi's 1st day (Wed) TN gross = 12.5C.
So the remaining 4 days TN weekend gross = 36C - 12.5C = 23.5C
Per day gross from Thurs, Fri, Sat and Sun = 5.8C

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now Chennai,

Yennai Arindhaal's 4 day collection = Rs 2,92,55,762
Per day collection = Rs 73,13,941

Kathi 5 days collection = Rs 3,01,09,817
Per day collection = Rs 60,21,963

Now further shrinking the comparison by comparing only the weekend Chennai Box Office collection from Fri-Sun,

Yennai Arindhaal Fri,Sat,Sun had 486 shows and collected = Rs 2,17,95,337
Per show collection = Rs 44,846


Kathi Fri,Sat,Sun had 411 shows and collected = Rs 1,74,79,424
Per show collection = Rs 42,529

Still i did not bring the factors like Deepavali holidays, ARM or Worst possible weekday release while students and families are in exam preparation mode, out of form GVM whose genuine blockbuster was a decade back in the form of VV.

People can still say UK da. Kadaisi varai verum tiffin mattum than da ect.


Yennai Arindhaal won hands down especially in TN and CBO.
