Vijay`s Kaththi` is simply re-writing all the box office records. Yesterday, we reported that it has overtaken the highest grosser for any Tamil movie with 12.5 crores in the first day, and here we have one more today. The official Kaththi` handle across the social network & A.R. Murugadoss have confirmed that the movie has seen the biggest collection and breaks all South Indian film records by collecting 23.80 crores in the first day. A.R. Murugadoss himself has declared the report in his personal page by quoting - #Kaththi breaks all South film records on its first day -TOTAL -23.80 CR TN/Kerala / Karnataka & NorthIndia-16.45Cr OVERSEAS-7.35CR

In Tamilnadu, the ticket prices have not hit the skies, unlike the neighboring states. It has been the same for multiplexes for the last few years, and there are some reports where a new release costs close to 150-200 in the suburbs for the first weekend. So, the argument related to ticket price hike is the only reason for Kaththi`s record breaking opening is dismissed, and Kaththi` has genuinely out scored the previous hits by some margin. It will be interesting to see whether I`, Lingaa` & Thala 55` will push Kaththi` from the top.
