The collections went for a freefall after the 2nd week, but the huge release has saved the film. It continues to top our list, as the cine-world eagerly awaits Agneepath on Jan 26 - HIT


02. The Dirty Picture - Vidya Balan's scorching screen presence has helped the film sail over 50 days at the theaters, and the number of screens have been  increased in it's 7th week, which has not happened for any other film released in 2011. The Dirty Picture is the 3rd most successful film of 2011 behind Bodyguard and Ready. - BLOCKBUSTER

Pongal is Well.!! - BLOCKBUSTER

02. Vettai - The Lingusamy multistarrer has not let the audience down. Though severely affected by the overwhelming popularity of Nanban, Vettai which released 2 days later, has made its presence felt too.

03. Kollaikaran - The low budget Pongal release could not garner even interest amongst the big budget multistarrers. It has been removed from almost 80% of screens it released. It is believed that the film will get it's run once the collections go down on Nanban and Vettai - FLOP
