PK

Aamir Khan-starrer "PK" has done fantastic business not just in northern circuits, but also in key southern markets. The film has struck gold in Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Andhra Pradesh/Nizam box offices. It has emerged as the highest grossing Bollywood film in Tamil Nadu and also turned out to be a huge hit at the AP/Nizam box office.

The film has collected over ₹17.5 crore nett at the end of the third weekend (2-4 January) in AP/Nizam areas, according to Andhraboxoffice (ABO).

"PK" has emerged as the industry hit by raking in over ₹300 crore at the Indian box office. It has grossed over ₹600 crore at the worldwide box office. The film is expected to continue its decent run despite new releases.

Directed by Rajkumar Hirani, "PK" has Aamir playing the role of an alien. Anushka Sharma, Sushant Singh Rajput, Sanjay Dutt and Boman Irani appear in pivotal roles.

Mukunda

Varun Tej's debut film "Mukunda" took good openings at the box office, but has failed to sustain its momentum. The film has minted ₹10.87 crore in its first week at the worldwide box office. However, its collections dropped in the second week, resulting in a poor second weekend.
