Hollywood movie "The Jungle Book" dominated the Chennai box office last weekend. After getting good reviews, the movie went on to do fantastic business in the capital city of Tamil Nadu and also beat Telugu biggie "Sardar Gabbar Singh."
"The Jungle Book" minted Rs 89.94 lakh from 219 shows, reported Behindwoods, which is an earth-shattering business for a Hollywood movie in Chennai.
