"I" ("Ai"), starring Vikram and Amy Jackson, has witnessed a drop in its Ap/Nizam box office collection on the third day.

"I", which hit the screens on 14 January, managed a grand opening on its first day. It emerged as the highest opening day grosser for a dubbed film. The film continued its good run on the second day, despite mixed reports from critics and audience. They had termed "I" as a technically brilliant film, ably supported by Vikram's fantastic performance. However, they said that the film is a let down due to its wafer-thin storyline.

Although the mixed reviews did not have any impact on the film's first two days of collections, it seems to have affected the collections on the third day at the AP/Nizam box office. The Vikram-starrer has earned ₹15.88 crore share in three days in AP/Nizam, according to Andhraboxoffice. Here is the area-wise break-up for the film's collection.

Vizag: ₹1.20 crore, East: ₹1.35 crore, West: ₹1.08 crore, Krishna: ₹0.98 crore, Guntur: ₹1.52 crore, Nellore: ₹0.85 crore, Ceeded: ₹3.40 crore, Nizam: ₹5.50 crore. Total three-day share from AP/Nizam: ₹15.88 crore.
