Share
Atlast Jan 10 arrived- the judgment day. The clash of the titans. Viswasam and Petta have both opened to thunderous responses from the audience and reviewers. Viswasam is said to be a family entertainer with good masala elements and Petta is being celebrated as return of the vintage Rajini(The 90’s kids are happy)In a way Thalaivar and Thala fans have been starving for quite some time to see their heroes in movies like these and they seem to have been satisfied by the movies. Both the movies have got good box-office reports. Petta seems to be doing well internationally while Viswasam gets the edge in TN states.

Petta – 20-25 cr
Viswasam– 25-30 cr
