‘Madras Cafe’ sees jump in collections and ‘Chennai Express’ grosses 211 crores at box-office

Shoojit Sircar’s latest Hindi movie “Madras Cafe” has grossed a total of about Rs 4.75 crore on its opening day. The movie had received positive reviews which may be working in its favour.

The John Abraham starrer film managed a decent 30-35 percent jump in collections at the multiplexes on Saturday. The movie achieved what Nikhil Advani’s “D-Day” could not.

The movie has further improved on Sunday collections earning Rs 9 crore and netting an approximate Rs 20 crore during the opening weekend itself.

Made on a budget of 35 crore, “Madras Cafe” is expected to be profitable venture for Viacom 18 with reasonable stable collections during weekdays. However next weeks “Satyagraha” which is a political drama may give stiff competition to the movie.

Rohit Shetty’s “Chennai Express” is still continuing its record journey at the box-office but at a slower pace. The movie has netted Rs 206.28 cr from India (Rs 300 cr worldwide gross) in just three weeks.
