Not only USA, anywhere overseas is hugely popular, just look at CCV (made around 32cr in Overseas itself)

Mani Ratnam has always been a huge deal among the USA audience.

Yeah, I am glad they were able to compensate. I am sure it would have done well in Canada, such a shame.

It's been happening very often. The last time I guess Thalapathy movie was also targetted. 

Nonetheless it's a record. :D

Lol this is because Canadian audience had to go USA to watch the movie! The two main Tamil distributors in Canada are banned atm. Canada has one of the largest diaspora and the movie has barely done business there because of this.

3m is damn good. Like 24 crores in just 3 days.

Mani Ratnam killing it like he always does!

That's hugee and probably the first Tamil movie to do so ( Consecutive $1 Million on 3 continuous days )
