I Hindi, Telugu, Tamil Box Office Collections: 4 Days

The Tamil / Telugu version of Shankar’s I released in theatres on Pongal (14th January), the Hindi version of the Vikram film released on select screens on Thursday (paid previews) and got a wider release on around 1700 screens on Friday.

The Hindi version has collected Rs 4.9 crore in 2 days including paid previews. Breakdown below of the official figures from the distributors. (Note: collections of Hindi version only, Tamil version also released in North India, Mumbai and other parts of the country)

  • Thursday – 25 lakhs (Paid previews)
  • Friday – 2.1 cr
  • Saturday – 2.3 cr
  • Total – Rs 4.9 cr

The Tamil version has created history at the box office. In Tamilnadu, I opened phenomenally well and has sustained reasonably well too. In Kerala, I released in 225 theatres and has smashed records of local Malayalam movies. The film was houseful in cities like Trivandrum and Kochi on Day 1 and has sustained well on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Collections of the Tamil version below.

  • Wednesday - 11.8 cr
  • Thursday - 10.7 cr
  • Friday – 9.25 cr
  • Saturday – 9 cr (approx)
  • Total – 40.75 cr

The Telugu version opened to outstanding numbers, but reports from Andhra/Nizam aren’t great. The business of the film has begun to drop quite considerably Friday onwards.

  • Wednesday – 9.5 cr
  • Thursday – 8.5 cr
  • Friday – 4.85 cr
  • Saturday – 4.25 cr (approx)
  • Total – 27.1 cr

  • Just came back seeing ‘I’. What a terrific film! what way to start this year in a BANG.

    Shankar yet again proves why he is the Best Director from Kollywood and one of the Best
    story-tellers of recent times across all Indian Cinema.

    ‘I’ is primarily a love story where a BODY Builder, who is a die-hard fan of a leading Model whom he likes in the first sight itself. He later gets into the Modelling Industry because of her and then how his detractors who are jealous of his success punish him and then him taking revenge in the end.

    Though, the basic premise is not that thought provoking or that we have not seen this thing like ever, it is how Shankar treats it giving his trademarks and the top-notch performances he extracts!

    No words to describe VIKRAM, he lives the Character and is Magnificent! He is the only actor apart from Kamal Haasan or Aamir Khan who would go to an altogether different level to prepare for such a character. He makes you cry, laugh and love and makes you feel for him in the climax portions. This guy deserves NATIONAL AWARD for a heart-wrenching performance. His dedication, hard-work can be seen in the movie.

    Final: The movie might not be Perfect nor might not be Shankar’s best film so far, it definitely for me is in one of his Top5 films. Vikram’s best performance till date or you could say Best Performance by a leading actor in recent times (along with Aamir in PK). Should definitely be watched in theaters atleast for Vikram’s hard work and his sheer dedication for a role!

    Positives:
    1. Vikram Vikram Vikram
    2. AR Rahman’s eclectic Score
    3. Cinematography
    4. Amy and Vikram’s super hot chemistry with Amy looking her hottest ever and standing equally to Vikram.

    Negatives:
    1. Not that great compared to Shankar’s previous ventures like Robot, Sivaji, Anniyan etc.
    2. Predictable
    3. Length is a big minus. If there was a trimming of around 20-25 minutes, this could have been one of the best romantic-thrillers ever to come from INDIA.

    I advise you guys, all the peeps who are into Hindi Cinema, to give ‘I’ a try. You won’t be disappointed. Vikram will make you feel for him. Watch it!

    Rating – 4/5

  • @Indicine: Great article! Thanks for posting it. Since I could not locate or trace much about I’s collections this while. I somewhere read that it has done a phenomenal performance till now.
    I guess, the collections of all versions pan India should be 75cr.+ till now (4 days) which is terrific for a film from South. Having said that, I would also like to read your review on ‘I . I hope you guys have seen it. If yes, it would be great if you could post a review about it. Many of the users here should know about the movie’s positives. Thanks!

  • I have watched “I” !

    What’s good?
    1.Vikram’s great performance.
    2. The Brilliant Cinematography.
    3. The theme.
    4. Some lovely sequences in the plot.

    What’s not so good?
    1. Plot was lengthy, yet predictable.
    2. A few action scenes.
    3. Editing could have been sharper.

    Rating: a strict 2.5/5 or a generous 3/5

    so, I is ambitious and predictable. Over all A nice one. But I had expected more.

  • I Short review by me.
    Thump’s up :-
    1. Vikarm, Vikarm and Vikarm awesome acting playing body builder, no.1 model and a ugly give- super physic.
    2. Amy Jackson was superhot.
    3. Shankar’s direction.
    4. Story was little bit new and interesting.
    5. Vfx.
    6. Song very pretty good.
    Thump’s down :-
    1. Amy Jackson acting was nt matchble to Vikarm they both look hot together but acting was nt good by Amy Jackson.
    2. It nt get that level to expect form Vikarm-Shankar combo like aparichit.
    3. Some illogical things.
    3+0.75=3.75? 0.75 for Vikarm

  • WOW! 72.75 cr in 3.5 days

    CONGRATS VIKRAM !!

    You just crossed Akki (Entertainement), Ajay (Action Jackson), Ranbir (Besharam), Shahid (Haider), Varun (Humpty Sharma), Saif (Humshakals, Happy Ending), Emraan Hashmi (Raja Natwarlal, Ungli), Aditya Roy Kapoor (Daawat E Ishq), Ranveer SIngh (Kill Dill, Lootera) etc

    YOU WILL SOON CROSS SALMAN KHAN (JAI HO)

  • @indicine I can’t understand how can regional film earn so much money?is it gross or nett.according shaggy robot,vishwaroopam earned over 200cr and thupakki earned 180cr.how is it possible even by considering they release in dubbed versions in telugu,kannada etc

    is it nett or gross

  • Brilliant Collections….
    After all the excitement since ages the film to b worth the wait….
    This movie is the answer to why Shankar is the Highest paid director in India…
    Our very own james cameroon…

    When Giants like Shankar, Vikram, PC Sreeram, A R Rahman, AASCAR films come together for a single project you better b prepared for awesomeness…. The nly thing we ought to miss is Sujatha Rangarajan… Otherwise their would have been no match to this film…

    Songs specially Ladio n Aila Aila were just too cool… Malang Song, made on a budget of 5 cr looks kindergartner stuff compared to them… Hats off to PC sreeram for his Cinematography….

    A R Rahman deserves a Standing ovation for Soundtrack n BGM….True Class..

    With each viewing i am loving the Film more n more… Specially Vikram… Next ULAGA NAYAGAN….

    Really wish that these giants come together again with a suitable replacement for Sujatha ji..

    The Drop in Ap/Nizam is just coz of Gopala Gopala (remake of OMG) starring Pawan Kalyan Who is Probably biggest star in Tollywood Currently….

    Its 3 days gross of 81 crores is nothing less then Jaw Dropping Considering its Tamil Language….

    @Nipun, Bro Cant help but notice You thought few actions were bad… No Intention to force my opinion on you…But What made you think so…
    Have seen it twice nw n i am yet to meet someone who thinks so (Both Online n Offline) …..

  • I was a gud film.i watched it today.
    Only 2 problms were there- heroine was overweight,sona mam cud have been better n hero shivered very less. So 3 from me.

  • BUDGET: $30 million.

    HNY budget: $ 24 million.

    Those days are not far when bollywood or south movie will have budget between $40 – $50 million range.

    I seriously wonder how they will recover.

  • @arjun kapoor: Most of the tamil films are exempted of entertainment taxes. That is why their nett and gross are similar. Only in few states, if released in hindi, the nett and gross collections differ.
