Raja Rani rocks at the box office. The Arya and Nayanthara starrer has earned a whopping amount of 12.2 crore in its opening weekend.

Trade analyst and film critic Taran Adarsh tweeted, “#RajaRani [Tamil] is rocking. Opening weekend [Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka]: Fri ₹ 3.7 cr, Sat ₹ 4 cr, Sun ₹ 4.5 cr. Total: ₹ 12.2 cr”.

Raja Rani has performed well in Tamil Nadu as well as other states including Kerala and Karnataka. The grand total collection in all these three states rounds up to 12.2 crores.

Raja Rani collected Rs 3.7 crore in all the three states together, which is the best ever opening for Arya’s film. The second day collections of Raja Rani are fixed at Rs 4 crore from these above mentioned states. The film’s Sunday collections were also tremendous by raking in Rs 4.5 crore.

Producer AR Murugadoss seems to have struck gold at box office again. The filmmaker had given two super hits previously as a producer. His film, Engaeyum Eppothum and Vatthikuchi did good collections at the box office previously and now he has delivered a hat trick with his latest flick Raja Rani.

Striking trailer and promotional activities are among the factors that have contributed to the success of the film. Positive reviews from critics and strong word of mouth are also working in the favour of the film.

The total screen-count for Raja Rani around TN state is more than 350 with the circuit-wise breakup from some of the areas, being as follows

NSC - 94 screens, released by Red Giant Movies
Salem - 45 screens, released by Red Giant Movies
Trichy - 30 screens, released by GT Films
Coimbatore, Erode, Tiruppur and Ooty - 60 screens, released by Sakthi Films

Both the family audience and youths are attracted by Raja Rani. The subject of the husband-wife drives the general audience to the theatres, while the romance and comedy parts have attracted the youth section. As a result, the movie has got a wonderful opening at the Tamil Box Office as well as other states.

Traders also say that Raja Rani has made a good business in the international circuits too. Taran tweeted, “Raja Rani” raked in £16,314 from 12 screens at the UK box office. The collections in other centres are awaited.
