Chennai Box-Office - Ajith's Veeram leads the pack thus far ...
The second half of the year has started with a bang, thanks to the grand opening of Dhanush's Velai Illa Pattathari. There are more biggies around the corner with Anjaan being the next big 'event release'.
The first half of the year was packed with many big grossers, sleeper hits and films which had a great return on investment (ROI). Here we present to you the top 5 box-office grossers in Chennai city, based on the data that we at Behindwoods estimated. It must be noted that this data is not the official one.
The data that we present is the gross amount that these movies collected from their theatrical run in Chennai city till their respective 50th days, and has nothing to do with entertainment tax or net or distributors share or ROI.
Please note that there are other movies with superior return on investment like Yaamirukka Bayamey, Goli Soda, Manja Pai, Mundasupatti and Thegidi, but they haven't made it into the list of Top 5 grossers. And all the movies listed here don't necessarily count as hits due to factors like their big budgets, entertainment tax and such
1. Veeram - 6.14 crores
2. Jilla - 5.68 crores
3. Kochadaiiyaan - 5.63 crores
4. Maan Karate - 4.80 crores
