Sivakarthikeyan's Velaikkaran has taken a very good opening at the Chennai city box office. It has approximately grossed around Rs 1.8 crore from its first two days alone in Chennai. Sivakarthikeyan's growing star power and a largely accepted content have helped the film.

The Sunday's collection looks to be solid as well with more than 95% occupancy rate in most theatres. We will have to wait and see how the film holds on from Monday. This is for sure one of the biggest openings for a Sivakarthikeyan film.
