HQ Unseen Newly Updated Ravanan Stills

Ace director Maniratnam’s long-awaited bilingual film ‘Raavan’ (in Hindi) and ‘Raavanan’ (in Tamil) and ‘Villain’ (dubbed into Telugu) has reportedly netted a collection of Rs.53 crores in the country in its first three days, the producer Reliance Big Pictures informs us.

The showing of the film’s Hindi version, though, has been below par in North America. In America and Canada, where the film’s Hindi version was screened from 18th June, the collection recorded has amounted to US $550,000, a far cry from the collections recorded three years ago by the earlier Maniratnam film ‘Guru’.

Despite a good review of the film in leading dailies like ‘New York Times’ and ‘Los Angeles Times’, the theatres have been running near-empty in America, it is reported. This has forced the distributors to take the film off by this Thursday from these halls. ‘Guru’, released in 2007, collected a million dollar in its first three days, it is informed.
