Mani Ratnam's 'PS-1' Set To Create History At The Tamil Nadu Box Office
Chennai, October 18 - In a landmark achievement, maverick filmmaker Mani Ratnam's period action drama film Ponniyin Selvan - Part 1 is set to become the first-ever film in Indian cinema to breach the 200 crores mark at the Tamil Nadu box office. ## The star-studded film is likely to enter the 200 crores club in Tamil Nadu by tomorrow if not today. The 200-crore club in Tamil Nadu is the rarest of the rare achievement as the movie ticket prices in the state significantly remain low as compared to the other Indian states. ## "PS-1" portrays Tamil history to its fullest and this has played a major role in the film breaching this massive box office milestone. The repeat value for the movie among the Tamil audience has been immense, which is something that was needed for the movie to be able to score the milestone. Kamal Haasan's "Vikram" is the second biggest movie in the state with approx. 181 crores gross.## Meanwhile, Tamil Nadu is only the 3rd Indian state where a movie has grossed 200 crores or more. Previously, SS Rajamouli's Baahubali - The Conclusion was the first film to score 200 crores in Maharasthra and recently, Rajamouli's RRR did this in Andhra Pradesh state.## Stay tuned...
