RANK # 1 - MR MARUMAKAN

The comedy-caper had an average start at the boxoffice, but held steady in its second weekend. The collections during the second week are encouraging, though it will interesting to see how it performs in the long run.

Gross : 3.48 Crores (8 Days)

Verdict : Above Average Opening

Fahad's honeymoon period seems to be on the slide finally. Despite carrying above average reports, the boxoffice performance of Friday is much below expectations. Future looks dim unless new releases get rejected by viewers.

Verdict : Below Average Opening

RANK # 4 - THATTATHIN MARAYATHU

The most profitable movie of the year 2012, till date, and mostly will retain that position at the year end analysis.
