The film’s overseas collections have considerably slowed down after a strong start on Monday. But it has still managed to earn around $4.5 million in the overseas markets. This takes its worldwide gross to over ₹225 crore. The makers of the film claim that the gross is over ₹292 crore already, making it one of the best first weeks for a regional film.
