As we all know, 36 Vayadhinile was a comeback film for Jyothika and hence had created a huge buzz. On the other hand, Purampokku boasted of a brilliant casting and since it was SP Jananathan's film, some kind of social message was expected out of it, its unique title also helped in garnering some interests among fans.
With both these movies clashing at the box office, it is indeed a matter of interest to know which film has managed to come out on top, not just here but also in the overseas. In Tamil Nadu, both these movies have done well so far.
But what has come across as a surprise is that Purampokku has managed to surpass 36 Vayadhinile as far as the collection goes. Though Purampokku is a multi-starrer,
Jyothika's comeback movie was expected to rule the box office here as it is a feel good movie. But thanks to good word of mouth, Purampokku has come out strong.
However, the scenario changes when we look at the overseas collections. Take a look at the slides below for detailed box office collections of Purampokku Engira Podhuvudamai and 36 Vayadhinile.
