I ahead of Hollywood films

The Aascar Production venture I that hit the screens yesterday (14th January) is said to be doing good business and creating a few new records at the box office. Besides Tamil, the film is released in Telugu and Hindi too.

There are a couple of firsts to this Shankar directorial. We had earlier reported that for the first time, the Hindi version of a Tamil film is being released in Lahore, Pakistan. To add some more feathers to this already decorated cap of I, here are a few highlights as reported by producer Aascar Film in their twitter page.

The Telugu version of the film has created a record on the opening day by crossing seven crores nett which is said to be new for a dubbed film. Aascar Film tweets, “[#TELUGU Record] #I Telugu creates record for 1st day opening day crosses 7 Crs Nett . A Huge record for a dubbed...”

And in the movie ticket pre-sales chart, the film is trending at the third position which is updated by Aascar Film as, “#I (#Ai) is still trending at the #3 position in the @MovieTickets Pre-Sales Chart, way ahead of #Hollywood movies releasing this week!”

Further collection reports from other centres would soon be updated. Stay tuned!
