Vishnu Vishal's psycho crime thriller Ratsasan has won an overwhelmingly positive word of mouth from the audiences. The film was rewarded with a Hit tag in Behindwoods' Chennai city box-office report based on its first 2 weeks run.
Ratsasan did not have a big opening during its release because of superlative performance by some of the other big films like Chekka Chivantha Vaanam and 96 but Ratsasan's gaining popularity helped the film gain some big screens during its second week. Its second-weekend gross collection at the Chennai city box office is around ₹1.65 crores.
