Vijay's Mersal has ridden on its star power to open very well in all the major overseas markets. Some of the markets where Mersal has outperformed include Malaysia, UK and Australia.
First day collections of Mersal in these countries are as follows:
UK - 81 lakhs from 37 locations
Australia - 68 lakhs from 25 locations
Malaysia - 90 lakhs
These are some great figures for a Tamil film in overseas markets. Let's hope Mersal continues to keep the momentum going.
After surpassing all the hurdles, Thalapathy Vijay's Mersal has hit the screens today (18th October), and the film has opened up extremely well at the box office. Vijay fans have been celebrating the film's release, and are also excited to have seen Thalapathy in three different avatars for the first time.
