Yes, the much appreciated movie, which opened from mixed to positive reviews has managed to garner 12.5 crore nett on the first day itself, says a report on International Business Times.

An entertainment industry tracker- Sreedhar Pillai- tweeted on his official account- “#Kaththi takes extraordinary opening on day 1 in TN. Trade very happy as all shows full, wide release & tax free.”

The movie has also benefited from being tax free, which has lowered the ticket prices and added to the revenue. The five-day-long festive weekend will also help the film.

Even outside India, the film has gained great numbers. In US, the movie earned $1,42,805, which is a record, given that only Rajinikanth’s “Endhiran” made such figures.
