Its distributor share amounts to ₹71 crore and the Vikram-starrer is till now placed sixth in the list of all-time top 10 south films. 

The film has so far performed well despite mixed reviews from critics and the audience. After enjoying a long holiday weekend, "I" witnessed drop in box office collections on Monday (19 January).
