Director Gautham Menon’s latest venture Yeto Vellipoyindi Manasu has
got very good opening in America. The Telugu film has done even better
collection than its Tamil version Neethaane En Ponvasantham. That’s not
all. It has even slowed down the collection of Hindi movies Talaash and
Khiladi 786, which had done fantastic business at the USA Box Office in
the last week.
Talaash was released in a large number screens in the country on
November 29 and has done very good business there. The Aamir Khan,
Kareena Kapoor and Rani Mukherjee starrer was still running in 113
screens in its third weekend. The movie has collected $1,68,828, taking
its 18-day total to $27,06,375 (Rs 14.80 crores) at the USA Box Office.
Khiladi 786, which was released in large number of screens in the
country on December 7, has seen a big drop in its collection in its
second weekend.
The film, which is being shown in 115 screens, in the third week, has
collected $61,563 at the USA Box Office, talking its 11-day total to
$3,52,684 (Rs 1.93 crores). Whereas Yeto Vellipoyindi Manasu starring
Nani and Samantha in leads, was released in just 43 screens in the
country on December 14 and has done record breaking business at the USA
Box Office in its first weekend. The film has collected $1,80,510 (Rs
98.74 lakhs) in three days. With this, the Telugu movie has topped the
collection chart at the USA Box Office.
However, its Tamil version Neethaane En Ponvasantham has also done
good business at the USA Box Office in its first weekend, but when
compared to Nani-Samantha starrer, its collection is very less. The
movie, which was released in 35 screens in the country on December 14,
has collected $92,102 (Rs 50.38 lakhs) at the USA Box Office in three
days.
