Sarkar Box Office Collection Day 1: Vijay starrer sets box office on fire, will it break Baahubali record?

Sarkar Box Office Collection Day 1: Directed by AR Murugadoss and produced by Kalanithi Maran's Sun Pictures, actor Vijay's latest political drama Sarkar has been released worldwide today. The film has been released on around 3400 screens and has received an overwhelming response from the audiences. Film and trade analyst Sumit Kadel has said that the film is off to a 'fantastic start'.

The Vijay starrer is expected to break Baahubali record. Baahubali earned around Rs 19 crore in Tamil Nadu on Day 1. However, given the response and hype around Sarkar film, experts anticipate that the film may well earn more than Baahubali in the state on opening day. Though the Baahubali was a huge budget movie, the budget of Sarkar is said to be around Rs 45 crore. 

"#Sarkar off to a FANTASTIC start at the box office, film initial audience response is also overwhelming. #SarkarDiwal #Sarkarreview," Kadel tweeted.
