Maharaja, directed by Nithilan Saminathan and starring Vijay Sethupathi, Anurag Kashyap and others, is doing blistering business in China. The thriller is set for a long run in the Middle Kingdom.
Maharaja, directed by Nithilan Saminathan and starring Vijay Sethupathi, Anurag Kashyap and others, grew in collections from first weekend in its second weekend in China. This indicates an exceptional word of mouth for the acclaimed thriller.
With a 17.55m CNY (2.45m USD or Rs 20.85 crore) in its second weekend, the 10 day cume of the Vijay Sethupathi starrer stands at 48.35m CNY (6.73m USD or Rs 57 crore). The lifetime forcast made by local trade sites is slightly over 100m CNY (14m USD or Rs 118 crore) at the momen. The lifetime forcast is higher than what it was in the first weekend. It isn't wrong to say that we are in unchartered territory.
The Day Wise Gross Collections In Weekend 2 For Maharaja In China Are As Under:
Friday: 4.05m CNY (0.57 USD) (Rs 4.85 crore)

What's really a proud moment for India is the fact that a huge blockbuster from North America ie Wicked, in its first weekend in China, stayed well under Maharaja. It hasn't even been a month since Wicked released in its domestic markets while Maharaja released months back in India.
After a dull last few years, Maharaja is really opening the floodgates for Indian movies in China. With the kind of reception that Maharaja is getting, it seems certain that there will be numerous Indian movies that will be releasing in the Middle Kingdom in the times to come.
Maharaja Global Collections Update
Talking about Maharaja's global tally after the second weekend in China, it stands at around Rs 163 crore gross. The movie, in its first phase, collected Rs 106 crore. The second phase is likely to be bigger with China on board.
