Day-wise Report
The movie, which has Keerthy Suresh in the female lead, was opened with Monday premeires on 5 November, a working day in the US. Yet it got a good start by collecting $335,836 in 138 locations, but the business saw a normal drop the following day as it raked in $169,986.
In the next two days, Sarkar collected $60,327 and $38,784, respectively. The consistent drop in business came as a worry, but surprisingly picked by on Friday by raking in $94,223 and made a solid busines on Saturday by collecting $140,100. It is believed that the controversy around the Vijay-starrer helped the flick to pull the audience to theatres in big numbers.
