Chennai Box-Office – Jan 31-Feb 2

The footfalls across cinema halls in Chennai City were low as the content was not attractive. Santhanam’s Dagaalty on day one took an OK opening but was WOM was negative and collections started dropping from Saturday. Still, it has managed Rs 62 lakhs in three days and is number one this week at the CBO.

Mysskin’s Psycho holds strong due to weak new releases and is able to attract the multiplex audiences and is at number two position and has grossed Rs 2.41 Cr in 10 days.

At number three place is the Hollywood action-comedy Bad Boys For Life, which took a decent opening and grossed Rs 34 lakhs in three days. In the fourth place is Nadodigal 2, which had a late release on Saturday and carries mixed reports. Rajinikanth’s Darbar holds on to number five position.
