Steady Climbers and Sleeper Hits

Patriot is still in theatres, collecting ₹68.05 Cr so far (₹23.35 Cr India) and building momentum after a ₹10 Cr first day. Prakambanam surprised many by touching ₹20.86 Cr worldwide, turning into another Super Hit. Meanwhile, Bharathanatyam 2 Mohiniyattam crossed ₹39 Cr and showed promise as an offbeat entertainer.
