'Sarkar' Day 1 Box Office collection: Thalapathy Vijay's film registers record-breaking opening, does well overseas tooNov 7 (AZINS) Sarkar, starring Tamil superstar Thalapathy Vijay, since the time it went on floors has created quite some buzz.

The AR Murugadoss film, which hit screens on November 6, on its opening day, received mixed response from movie buffs and critics.

Even then, the film has registered a record-breaking opening, and according to Tollywood reports, the film has collected Rs 75 crore at the worldwide box office on its very first day of release.

Sarkar, released in over 3000 screens around the world, has earned a gross collection of approximately $145,000 just from the premiere shows in the US and the number, after the first day is expected to only go up.

Thalapathy Vijay’s act as a political vigilante in Sarkar is garnering great response from fans, followers and film lovers in general.

The plot of the film revolves around a successful NRI CEO who returns to India for voting in elections but finds his vote has already been exercised.

He then enters politics and says that he will bring about a change in the society in one day.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to Twitter and wrote, “The hugely awaited #Tamil biggie #Sarkar, which opened today, has got fantastic showcasing outside Tamil Nadu as well… In Mumbai, for instance, the plexes have allotted 8, 9, even 11 and 12 shows every day, which is a rarity… The hype is truly tremendous… #SarkarDiwali.”

Taran, in another post wrote, "#Sarkar sets #Australia BO on... Although the #Tamil biggie opened in #Australia on Tuesday [working day], the response is  FANTABULOUS...Tuesday A$ 219,090 [? 1.16 cr] / 39 locations This is one of the BIGGEST STARTS by an Indian film in #Australia."

Sarkar mania also gripped UK.

The analyst wrote, "#Sarkar mania grips #UK... A midweek release [Tuesday], yet the #Tamil biggie has embarked on an AWESOME start in #UK... In fact, such impressive numbers *on a weekday* are a rarity in this market...Tuesday £ 122,513 [? 1.17 cr] / 42 locations"

The film is doing tremendously well in France as well.

"#Sarkar opens to SUPERB footfalls in #France... The #Tamil biggie opened on Monday [working day], yet the admissions are higher than most #Hollywood / #European films in #France...Mon 2149 Tue 3854 Total: 6003 admissions Note: #France reports Admissions, not Gross BO," Taran Adarsh tweeted.

Sarkar was also notoriously leaked on Tamilrockers website that allows downloading of copyrighted content illegally. Fans of Thalapathy Vijay fans are asking moviegoers to watch the film in theatres instead of downloading it from the torrent website.

The film co-written by B Jeyamohan, has music by AR Rahman and is produced by Kalanithi Maran under the banner Sun Pictures.

The film also stars Keerthy Suresh, Varalaxmi Sarathkumar, Yogi Babu and Radha Ravi among others.
