Even Kamal is astounded at the tremendous reception that he has received for 'Dasavataram,' something that has surpassed everything till now in his career. Wherever it has been released, it is breaking records.
Rajini was called the Vassol Chakarvarthy for the runaway success of 'Sivaji' but 'Dasavataram' seems to have broken that too. This is sweet success for Kamal, who has been waiting for just this, for so many years.
As far as Chennai is concerned, 'Ayudham Seivom' had collected less than 10 lakhs at the end of the first week of release. In contrast, 'Dasavataram' made around 83 lakhs. At the end of 17 days, it is 4.88 crores in Chennai alone! This is more than what 'Sivaji' grossed in 17 days.
The overseas returns are also tremendous for Kamal's film. At the end of 2 weeks, 'Sivaji' had made 3,705.252$ but 'Dasavataram' has grossed 11,653,212 $ - more than three times.
Theatre owners are confident that at the end of 50 days, the film would have made 10 crores at least.
