'I' AT NO.1 & YENNAI ARINDHAAL AT NO.3

We at Behindwoods generally declare the final box office verdict for a film in Chennai city at the end of its 3rd weekend. The number of shows that a film holds in its 3rd weekend plays a big role in deciding its verdict as it is no mean feat for a film to sustain its run nowadays, with the large number of releases every other week and the audience being exposed to many other forms of entertainment.

 

Below are the films this year which have held on the best, when it comes to their respective 3rd weekend show counts.
