Chennai Box-Office: February 21-23

As expected Arun Vijay- Prasanna’s Karthick Naren directed Mafia dominated the screens during the weekend. Mafia has grossed a decent Rs 1.15 Crs from CBO in its first three days. This stylish action film has done well, though it carries mixed reports and is number one at CBO.

In the number two position is Oh My Kadavule, which can be classified as a multiplex hit, as it grossed Rs 1.80 Cr in 10 days. And in the third place is Ayushman Khurrana’s Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan.

In the fourth place is Telugu new comedy Bheeshma. And in fifth place is last week’s number one Naan Sirithal, which has fallen like a ton of bricks.
