The early trade reports suggest that Housefull showed occupancy of about 25% for the morning shows. Other Bollywood releases such as Made In China and Saand Ki Aankh took off to a low start with merely 15% occupancy for the morning shows. In South, as expected Bigil took off to a flying start. The morning shows of the film were nearly housefull and with the positive reviews, we are expecting the film to enjoy a great weekend at the box office.

Bigil stars Vijay in dual roles, that of a father and son. The actor is seen playing distinct characters as he plays a gangster as the father and a women's football coach as the son. Vijay fans have been waiting to catch this film considering this is the third time the actor is collaborating with director Atlee after their much successful film, Mersal.  Vijay's Bigil Enjoys Tremendous Advance Booking Sale; Housefull 4 Begins Slow.
