FollowThe wait is over. Vijay's much-hyped Tamil movie Bigil is all set to release on Dhanteras, October 25. Not just India, the whole world is going gaga over Vijay's latest offering. The movie has got a mindblowing response from the moviegoers in the US.
Vijay's Bigil will premiere in about 150 locations in 250+ screens on Thursday, October 24, 6:30 pm EST. According to reports, Bigil will be one of the big hits that North America has ever seen.
The advance tickets from the pre-sales of the premieres have crossed $200,000-mark (Rs 14,075296). The film trade analytics have predicted the total collection to be around $350,000-400,000. For now, Bigil has collected $215,434 from 120 locations in the US.
