I Had Superb Week Worldwide






South films in dubbed version never made huge mark in Bollywood market and this week again a big budget extravaganza ''I'' starring Vikram and directed by Shankar has released all over India. But film scored big numbers worldwide including overseas.

''I'' released across 1000 screens in Hindi but despite good number of shows film failed at multiplexes in most of the places. Film was rather average in few pockets of single screens and film managed to gather some momentum from evening onwards.

Film collected 2.10 cr nett on day one in addition to 25 laksh nett on Thursday previews which was below par considering hype and release size. Film was never expected to jump and that is what happened. Film collected close to 2.55 cr nett on Saturday and 3 cr nett on Sunday taking 3 day total to 7.90 cr nett. Film added 3.50 cr nett plus on weekdays and thus collected clsoe to 12 cr nett in Hindi which is far less than last Shankar film ''Robot''.

Film collected huge 65 cr nett plus in Tamil and 40 cr nett plus in Telugu which is brilliant. Film also added 11.30 cr in overseas market which was higher than so many Hindi films. Film has worldwide total of 128 cr after 1st week and film should cross 150 cr lifetime number. Hit !
