Sivakarthikeyan's Velaikkaran is doing well at the box office with close to Rs 30 crore gross in Tamil Nadu region alone from its opening four-day Christmas weekend.

A satisfied director Mohan Raja expressed his joy with a small press note, “The film is being received well by the audience to a level more than the expected level. In Karnataka, it is an unprecedented opening for a Sivakarthikeyan film.

The increase of 30 screens from today across the state of Kerala speaks volume about the success of the film. The overseas market is equally filled with amazing positivity, and the economics are more than satisfying. The audience of Tamil Nadu has once again proved that they always laud films conceptualising the social truth. The family audiences are thronging to the theatre in numbers, and I am glad that we are able to sell off a social concept commercially."
