The Raj Nidimoru-Krishna D.K. film has not fared as well as it was expected to. However, things could be looking up over the weekend. Babumoshai Bandookbaaz, according to www.koimoi.com , stands at Rs 4.05 crore on the second day of its release and with that, has covered its production cost . The film opened with a bang (considering it was made on a budget of Rs 3 crore) on Day one, minting Rs 2.05 crore. Vivegam , which raced ahead of all its competitors like it was child’s play on Day one, showed similar growth on Day two. The Ajith-starrer’s collections are being pegged at a brilliant Rs 48 crore domestically, and Rs 66 crore internationally, thereby, making its total Rs 66 crore, as per film trade analyst Ramesh Bala. Here’s a breakdown of the collections:    

Going by the figures, it is clear that South Indian cinema, has once again, cemented its dominance over Bollywood.
