Rajinikanth’s Enthiran has taken a super opening on day one worldwide. The film took a 100 percent opening from Gurgaon multiplexes in Harayana to Nagercovil. In overseas markets it sizzled.
Enthiran has taken the best ever paid previews in UK and US, on Thursday night surpassing the collections of any Hindi films in 2010. In Mumbai the film has taken flying opening. The Telugu version has also been declared a hit.
In Tamil Nadu, Enthiran has taken the best ever single day opening for any film in history, while in Kerala from 128 screens the film has opened bigger than a Mohanlal or Mammootty film.
The North Indian media has gone crazy about Rajinikanth. All news channels like, NDTV, Times Now, CNN IBN and Headlines Today conducted half an hour “Robot-Special” with their entertainment editors flying in from Delhi and Mumbai to capture the Rajinikanth phenomena in Chennai on release day.
Never before in history has a dubbed film Robot, got so many stars in the raving reviews appearing in print, television and internet in the North Indian media. Please note in the past these very same North journalists and media houses could never stomach the success of south Indian films. In fact many channels went to the extreme of trashing Ranbir Kapoor’s Anjaane Anjaani and praising Robot to the skies.
