Despite an opening day collection that paled in comparison to that of other offerings in 2018, Rajinikath's 2.0 soared past the Rs 400 crore mark over the weekend, with 50 per cent of its collections coming in from home turf.

Talking about the collective figure earned by the Akshay Kumar starrer's Hindi (Rs 97 crore), Telugu (Rs 52 crore) and Tamil (approximately Rs 55 crore) versions, trade expert Amod Mehra says, "The collection declined on Friday, but showed a considerable jump on Saturday and Sunday. The 3D version has been preferred over 2D, which means the collections would have been better if the makers had opted for more 3D screenings."
