The Tamil movie starring Karthi and Arvind Swamy has collected around Rs 31 crore in 10 days of its release in India, out of which Rs 21.5 crore came from Tamil Nadu only.
Bankrolled by Suriya and Jyothika, under 2D Entertainment, the movie collected Rs 6 crore in Andhra Pradesh (Nizam), Rs 2.25 crore in Karnataka, Rs 0.75 crore in Kerala, and Rs 0.50 crore from the rest of India. Though the movie slowed down a bit in its second weekend, it has the potential to maintain a steady run at the lower levels.
Lubber Pandhu Shows Terrific Hold, Grossing Rs 33.10 crore in India
On the other hand, Lubber Pandhu is still showing a stronghold at the box office, even in its 3rd weekend. The Harish Kalyan and Attakathi Dinesh starrer rural sports drama is a relatively small movie considering the face value of Meiyazhagan, still, it managed to show better hold in the state.
Directed by Tamizharasan Pachamuthu, Lubber Pandhu grossed a total of Rs 33.10 crore in 17 days of its release at the Indian box office.

Lubber Pandhu Is Likely To Surpass Meiyazhagan At The Worldwide Box Office
Lubber Pandhu has an upper hand in the domestic markets, while Meiyazhagan has relatively performed better overseas. So far, the Karthi and Arvind Swamy movie is leading the race globally, but the Harish Kalyan movie has a chance to surpass it by the end of their theatrical runs.
It will be interesting to see how Meiyazhagan and Lubber Pandhu perform after the arrival of the mega Dussehra release Vettaiyan starring Superstar Rajinikanth. If they manage to withstand the Thalaivar storm, it will be a remarkable feat for both small-budget movies.
