Chennai box-office - (Jan 26-28 )
Pokkiri rules and is the clear number one by a mile! Its
hold over the CBO is amazing. In its third weekend, the film is still drawing
95 percent! At number two this week is the multi starrer Salaam-E-Ishq, which
opened in four huge screens with combined capacity of over 4500 and by day two
started dropping. In comparison Mani Ratnam's Guru is still the hottest show in
town, and is steady at 85 to 90 percent during this weekend. Dhanush's
Thiruvilayadal Aarambham continues to rock, and has become a favourite with the
family audience. Though GK films have boosted the publicity of Thamarabharani,
it has not reflected in the collections and is at number five.
