Filmmaker Shankar's Tamil magnum opus "I", despite mixed reviews, has managed to set the box office on fire by collecting over Rs.100 crore in its opening weekend worldwide.

Shankar’s I made a smashing worldwide collection in the first four days itself. The film starring Chiyaan Vikram and Amy Jackson in lead roles has managed to collect 100 crores gross worldwide over its first weekend itself.

The film showed an excellent performance in Tamil Nadu and Kerala too had a strong performance in spite of being a Tamil film. I‘s Telugu version also had an impressive performance in Andhra Pradesh.

In Hindi as well, the film has kept up a good stride and overall this film seems to have made a brilliant start already.

"The film has done exceptionally good business outside Tamil Nadu as well. In Kerala, it has set new records for a Tamil film. It has already collected over Rs.100 crore worldwide and continues to go strong at the ticket window," trade analyst Trinath told.

"On release day, the Telugu version collected nearly Rs.9 crore, which is exceptional for a dubbed film," he said.

The Hindi dubbed version of the film, according to Trinath, has collected about Rs.6 crore since its release.
