Sarkar box office day 4: Vijay film stays strong despite controversies

Sarkar box office collection has remained steady despite the controversies around the Vijay starrer. The film has done exceptionally well in Tamil Nadu where it is expected to earn over ₹100 crore in the first week itself.

Sarkar box office collection is estimated to be around ₹145 crore gross worldwide after three days of release with the film faring well in Tamil Nadu, according to reports. The film, directed by AR Murugadoss, is facing a lot of heat in Tamil Nadu from the ruling party. Despite the protest and controversies, the Vijay starrer managed to rake in the money in the state.

Sarkar box office collection has remained steady despite the controversies surrounding the Vijay film.

Industry tracker Sreedhar Pillai tweeted, “#Sarkar 4 days (Nov 6 to 9) gross in Chennai City = ₹6.45 Cr. A drop on Thursday & Friday due to “fear psychosis” created by raging political controversies, otherwise would have crossed 7 Cr. Expected to rock for weekend as advance booking is solid.”

Trade analyst Sumit Kadel reported that the film has grossed ₹144-145 crore worldwide within three days of release. “#Sarkar 3 Day Worldwide Gross is HUGE 144-145 cr,” wrote.

On Friday, the team of Sarkar volunteered for some cuts in the film in the face of criticism. In an application to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), the team requested to omit some scenes and dialogues from the movie. Sarkar’s re-edited version was shown on screen from Friday onwards.

The film is headlined by Vijay and stars Keerthy Suresh, Varalaxmi Sarathkumar, Radha Ravi and Yogi Babu.
