Petta and Viswasam, which released on January 10th, marking the Pongal holidays, has had a dream run at the box-office. Both the movies are still running packed shows, thanks to positive responses from all walks of audience. They have now earned the status ‘Blockbuster’.
With these two films performing huge at the box-office, it is a great start for Tamil cinema this year. With a lot of big releases lined up in the upcoming months, the baton will indeed be passed on, to perform big once again, at the box-office. Films with good content tend to get critically appreciated, and with such a head start in the form of these films, their numbers at the box-office will also see a rise.
