‘
Vijay
’s “
Theri
” released a couple of days back and is running successfully in the theatres. The movie has broken Vijay’s earlier records. This is the highest opening grosser for Vijay with Rs. 12.5 Crore collection in Tamilnadu. It has also hit the overseas market by collecting $2, 11,424. Despite all these achievements, Theri could not beat “
Vedalam
.” Yes, Vedalam’s opening day collection was Rs. 15.5 Crore in Tamilnadu. It was earlier predicted that Vijay could beat
Ajith Kumar
in the collection record. As Theri has not been screened in some theatres in Chengalpet, it obstructed the collections. Usually, the opening day collection in Chengalpet will be Rs. 7 Crores and if Theri had been screened properly in Chengalpet, it might have overtaken Vedalam’s record. So, Vijay has to wait a while to beat Ajith’s record.
