At the Indian box office, Ponniyin Selvan had a fantastic Monday, earning close to Rs. 25 crores approximately, bringing its four-day total to Rs. 138 crores approximately. Only 35% less was collected on Monday compared to Sunday, which is an exceptional result given the level of business the movie is generating.
Yesterday in Tamil Nadu, the movie broke Vikram’s previous non-holiday Monday record with an estimated collection of Rs. 16.50–17 crores. Only Vigil, which earned Rs. 17.90 crores throughout the Diwali vacation, had a higher Monday take. The only other Monday with a double-digit gross was Labor Day weekend when Baahubali 2 brought in Rs. 10.40 crores.
The film’s box office bonanza continues today as well, with Tuesday’s pre-sales beginning the day higher than Monday’s. The collections can increase today, and it’s feasible that the movie would surpass Rs. 100 crores in the state by day’s end after only five days since its premiere. Previously, a film in Tamil Nadu might reach the three-digit threshold in seven days. PS-1 can beat that time by a full two days.
The following table lists Ponniyin Selvan’s box office earnings in India:
38.50 crores on Friday

In Tamil Nadu, PS-1 is anticipated to earn more than Rs. 125 crores in its opening week, breaking the previous record by at least 25%. It would appear that Vikram’s entire run may be completed in two weeks, if not by the third weekend. At this time, even 200 crores of rupees
