Suriya's Singam 3 (SI3 or S3) is off to a fantastic start at the Chennai box office. The movie has made a brilliant collection in the capital city of Tamil Nadu although the business has been affected by the political chaos in the state.
Singam 3 (Si3/S3) 1st weekend (4 days) box office collection: In the first weekend, Singam 3 made a collection of Rs 2.16 crore from over 500 shows at the Chennai box office, reports Behindwoods. The movie earned about Rs 65 lakh on the first day and managed to enjoy good viewership in the next three days.
