Mani Ratnam's Ponniyin Selvan 2, led by Vikram, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Karthi, Trisha Krishnan and Jayam Ravi has packed a solid punch in its four day extended weekend. The film opened well but it is the trending that has to be stressed upon since the film recorded almost similar collections on its fourth theatrical day, as it did on its first day. It added around Rs 25.25 crores gross on its fourth day in India and that takes the all India four day gross total to Rs 115 crores. These numbers are lower than its first part but as a standalone film, they are very good.

The film is heading towards a total of around Rs 400 crores gross and that is an enviable number for a Tamil film as it has only been breached by three films in the past, 2.0, Vikram and PS1.

Ponniyin Selvan 2 Can Become The Highest Grossing Tamil Franchise Of All Time

The Enthiran franchise is the highest grossing Tamil franchise for now and the Ponniyin Selvan franchise has all the possibilities of trumping it if it registers strong holds just like its first part. The numbers are rallying 20 percent lower than the first part but are still very steady. It shall be a big achievement as unlike Enthiran, which was ushered with a lot of support from its Hindi version, Ponniyin Selvan is doing major chunk of its business in its primary language.
