The film was made on a modest budget of 27 crore. Vishnu Vishal‘s film reached breakeven in just 10 days of its release. Currently, the film has a profit margin of 45.3%. The film may not achieve 100% profit and declare itself a box-office hit due to Jana Nayagan. But the film is expected to cross 40 crore net in India with worldwide collection above 50 crore. This is a huge achievement for the film, which had minimal pre-release buzz and succeeded purely on word of mouth.
