According
to
the
latest
trade
estimates,
Viswasam
raked
in
nearly
Rs
17
Crore
at
the
Tamil
Nadu
box
office
on
Day
1
and
took
a
phenomenal
start.
One
is
likely
to
get
a
clearer
picture
once
the
official
figures
are
revealed.
The
Collections
Could
Have
Been
Higher
Viswasam
hit
the
screens
alongside
the
Rajinikanth
starrer
Petta
and
the
clash
seems
to
have
prevented
both
films
from
reaching
their
full
potential
at
the
ticket
window.
Viswasam's
BO
performance
could
have
been
a
lot
better
had
it
managed
to
bag
a
solo
release.
Viswasam
Beats
Petta?
Viswasam
seems
to
have
edged
out
Petta
at
the
Tamil
Nadu
box
office.
The
Ajith
film
is
the
first
choice
of
the
fans
in
the
mass
centres
and
this
has
made
a
big
difference.
Needless
to
say,
this
news
might
leave
Rajini
fans
a
bit
heartbroken
The
WOM
Is
Good
.The
consensus
is
that
Viswasam
is
a
solid
film
that
is
bound
to
click
with
the
family
audience.
It
is
in
perfect
sync
with
the
festive
spirit
of
Pongal
and
has
plenty
to
offer
the
fans.
Ajith
has
received
praise
for
his
power-packed
performance
while
Nayanthara
too
has
impressed
the
critics.
As
such,
the
WOM
is
healthy
and
this
might
make
a
difference
in
the
coming
days.
The
Way
Ahead
Given
Ajith's
immense
popularity
amongst
the
fans,
Viswasam
is
likely
to
perform
exceptionally
well
in
the
B
and
C
centres
in
the
coming
days.
The
first
weekend
collections
are
all
set
to
be
phenomenal.
It
might
also
benefit
big
time
because
of
the
mixed
reviews
for
Petta.
All
in
all,
Thala
mania
has
gripped
TN
like
never
before.
Enough
said!
