Jayam Ravi and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan starrer Ponniyin Selvan I PS I and Pushkar Gayatri s Vikram Vedha minted decent numbers on Tuesday. Vikram Vedha earned between Rs 5.80 crore and Rs 6.20 crore while PS I became the fifth film to join the Rs 100 crore gross club in Tamil Nadu.
With this, PS I now stands tall in the league of movies like Kamal Haasan - Starrer Vikram, Thala Ajith s Valimai, Thalapathy Vijay and Pooja Hegde-starrer Beast and Yash's chartbuster hit KGF: Chapter 2, according to film critic and trade analyst Ramesh Bala.
Bala tweeted that PS I will be the fifth movie in 2022 to join the Rs 100 crore gross club in Tamil Nadu. Other four are KGF, Beast, Vikram, and KGF: Chapter 2. Vikram Vedha is a remake of the 2017 Tamil film of the same name, which focuses on a tough police officer Vikram who is out to get the gangster Vedha. Vedha later surrenders and starts narrating stories to Vikram, due to which the latter's understanding of good and bad begins to change. The film was released on September 30 on the silver screen, along with the Chiyaan Vikram-starrer Ponniyin Selvan I.
PS I, on the other hand, is about the early days of Arulmozhi Varman or Raja Raja Chola I, the popular Chola emperor, and a coup planned by the Pandyas against the Cholas. The Mani Ratnam-directorial is based on a Tamil novel of the same name by Kalki Krishnamurthy.
