Dhilukku Dhuddu strikes gold at BO, makes Rs 12 crore in first weekend

Thanks to a long Eid weekend, Santhanam starrer Dhilukku Dhuddu did well on the box office, grossing Rs 12 crore in its opening weekend.

Tamil actor Santhanam’s new film, Dhilukku Dhuddu, has grossed over Rs 12 crore at the box-office on its opening weekend in Tamil Nadu.

Dhilukku Dhuddu is actor Santhanam’s fourth attempt at playing a lead role as a hero in a mainstream film.

“Thanks to the long Eid weekend, the film has turned out to be very successful. In the four-day weekend in Tamil Nadu, it grossed over Rs 12 crore and that’s a phenomenal start,” said trade analyst Trinath.

Directed by Rambala, Tamil horror-comedy is partly a spoof on horror-comedies.

“The spoof angle really worked in the film’s favour. The masses loved it,” he said.

Also starring Shanaya, Saurabh Shukla and Anand Raj, the film was produced by Sri Thenandal Films.
