Kollywood has been going through a rough phase with theatres struggling to screen shows due to lack of audience. Not many big-profile films have been released, and the small-budget ones are failing to draw crowds to theatres. At such a time, Thaai Kizhavi emerged as a ray of hope for Tamil Nadu exhibitors.
It is a comedy-drama headlined by Radhika Sarathkumar and produced by star hero Sivakarthikeyan. The film received glowing reviews from critics, and it started to leave an impact at the box office right from the opening day. On Saturday and Sunday, the film saw massive growth everywhere, and as per reports, Thaai Kizhavi earned about Rs. 22 crores gross in its opening weekend.
This is a sensational figure for a small-budget film, and the movie is set for a good long run. Directed by Sivakumar Murugesan, the film also stars Raichal Rabecca, Athadi Kumaran, Singampuli, Munishkanth, and others in key roles. Nivas K. Prasanna composed the tunes.
