Box office collection: 'Rathnam' sees slight dip on Day 4
The Tamil film Rathnam, featuring a star-studded cast of Vishal, Priya Bhavani Shankar, and Ramachandra Raju, was released globally last Friday (April 26). This marked the third collaboration between actor Vishal and director Hari. Despite receiving mixed reviews from critics and viewers alike, the film had a strong opening weekend. However, on its fourth day (first Monday), Rathnam saw a slight decrease in box office collection, earning ₹1.5 crore.
'Rathnam' records varied occupancy rates on first Monday
On Monday, the fourth day of its release, Rathnam recorded an overall Tamil occupancy rate of 12.17%. The morning shows saw an attendance rate of 10.79%, which increased to 13.49% for the afternoon shows. The evening shows had an occupancy rate of 11.75%, while the night shows concluded with a slightly higher rate of 12.64%. These figures reflect the fluctuating audience interest in the film throughout the day.
'Rathnam': A tale of courage and protection
Rathnam tells the story of a brave young man living near the Tamil Nadu-Andhra Pradesh border who embarks on a mission to protect Janani, his lady love who is being pursued by gangsters. The protagonist, Rathnam, serves as a henchman for MLA Panneer Selvam and also takes on the responsibility of safeguarding Mallika, an aspiring medical student who bears a striking resemblance to his late mother. This plotpoint adds an intriguing layer of complexity to the film.
