- IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,December 16 2014]
Superstar celebrated turning 64 with the release and phenomenal success of his 174th film, 'Lingaa'. The first weekend for any big release is a golden goose. In that regard, there have been numbers floating on the cyber that point to a century crore bucks for the legendary period-set flick that was released on the eve of Thalaivar's birthday. But as it does seem quite obvious, 100 crore rupees is a rather far fetched dream. But it is certain that the film has grossed close to 60% of that figure! Here we have the actuals of the collection.
Highest contributor to this whooping sum is undoubtedly the state of Tamil Nadu, standing proudly at 30 crores for 'Lingaa'; Chennai city alone contributed 2.7 crores. Singapore, Malaysia, Middle East countries and the United Kingdom, together have given the film a collection of roughly about 10 crores. USA fans have sky rocketed collections for 'Lingaa' at 11 crores, standing the second highest contributing conglomerate, after the collection of screens in Chennai. The rest is accounted by Kerala, Andhra, Telangana and North Indian fans. Pinning hopes on the dream figure of 100 crores, we can confidently say that 'Lingaa' is fast progressing towards the fancy of the record collection of highest sum of money for any movie!
