Chennai Box-Office: February 7 - 9

The footfalls are nothing great this week at CBO, as the content is not so exciting. Jiiva’s mass masala Seeru due to its day one opening piped past its immediate rival to be the number one at CBO with a gross of Rs 56 lakhs.

At the number two position is Mani Ratnam produced Dhana directed Vaanum Kottattum, which after a slow start picked up and has grossed Rs 55 lakhs. In the third place is the comic book big Hollywood actioner Birds of Prey.

Mysskin’s Psycho continues to hold tight at number four and in the fifth place is 1917 The Movie, which is having a good run at CBO.
