It is remarkable given Idli Kadai is withstanding competition from Kantara: Chapter 1, which has a wider reach and appeal. With the actual weekend yet to start, and no major releases in Tamil until Diwali (which is mid-October), Idli Kadai is set to enjoy a theatrical run for some more time, given it can sustain competition from Kantara. While Dhanush’s previous film Kuberaa holds sixth position among the Tamil grossers this year, Idli Kadai must collect at least Rs 100 crore worldwide to beat this.
