‘Ponniyin Selvan: I’, directed by Mani Ratnam, has created magic at the box office. The film is now the highest grossing Tamil film of all-time, surpassing Kamal Haasan starrer ‘Vikram’s lifetime earnings of ₹183 crore in the state, according to trade analysts.

The film surpassed ‘Vikram’ to become the highest grosser in Tamil Nadu on Wednesday and closed the day with a total of ₹186 crore. According to some sources, the film will have an uninterrupted run till Diwali, so it'll comfortably cross the ₹200 crore mark in Tamil Nadu.

'At the end of Wednesday, PS1’s Tamil Nadu gross stood at around ₹186 crore. It has beaten Vikram’s lifetime collection in TN in less than two weeks. With no major releases till Diwali, PS1 will comfortably cross ₹200 crore mark in Tamil Nadu and it’s not going to be easy for any other film to beat the record,' trade analyst Trinath said.

‘Ponniyin Selvan: I’ has earned over ₹400 crore globally and is inching closer to the ₹450 crore mark. He added that the film will end its theatrical run with over ₹500 crore gross earnings.
