Vijay's Bairavaa (Bhairava) has reached Rs 75 crore-mark in six days at the worldwide box office. It is the first Kollywood movie to reach the feat in 2016. 

Bairavaa (Bhairava) box office collection: After getting a good opening, the business of Bairavaa witnessed a downward trend on its second day. The mixed reviews from the audience and critics had some impact on the Vijay-starrer. Trade experts had predicted the business to drop for this reason during the following days.

However, lack of competition helped Bairavaa to draw the audience in big numbers on Saturday and Sunday. The movie managed to retain good viewership on Monday as well, and the good run continued on Tuesday, which was a holiday in Tamil Nadu to mark the birth anniversary of legendary actor and former Chief Minister MG Ramachandran.

Bairavaa was released in over 500 screens and enjoyed over 75 percent occupancy in key theatres across the state. The six-day worldwide gross collection of the movie totals over Rs 80 crore.

The 30 percent tax exemption given to the Tamil film by the state government has played a major role in its business.

As per the trade reports, Bairavaa has raked in over Rs 42 crore in Tamil Nadu alone with Kerala contributing close to Rs 7 crore to its total tally. The movie has not done notable business at the domestic box office in other centres. In the overseas centre, the Vijay's film has minted close to Rs 30 crore. 

The next big release is Suriya's S3 aka Singam 3, which will hit theatres on January 26. So the Tamil movie will not have competition for the next nine days, which will be a big boon for it.

Bairavaa, which stars Keerthy Suresh as the female lead, has been written and directed by Bharathan.
