- The Tamil version drove most of Friday’s receipts with Rs 3.20 crore on Day 9 while Hindi and Telugu dubbed versions contributed smaller sums.
- Show counts dropped sharply entering Week 2 from 5,496 to 4,165 performances, a reduction that helped explain the weekday decline in collections and will shape weekend totals.
- Pro‑Kannada protests linked to a Cauvery water release order prompted cancellations and torn posters at theatres in Mandya and Bengaluru, producing local exhibition disruptions and police intervention.
- Early Day 10 signals showed mixed momentum with a Rs 1.72 crore live India net from about 1,984 shows and BookMyShow ticketing up over 100% in daytime sales, making the weekend crucial for chasing further milestones and rank among Vijay’s top grossers.
