Thaai Kizhavi, the Tamil film which hit theatres last Friday, and currently running in big screens, has been witnessing a good run so far, with the second day collections showing a great improvement from its debut earnings. The Radikaa Sarathkumar-starrer is a rural comedy drama and is backed by Sivakarthikeyan.

Thaai Kizhavi is the latest theatrical offering from Tamil cinema, and thanks to its positive reviews and word of mouth, the film has been doing well at the box office. After a first day collection of Rs 2.65 crore, Thaai Kizhavi showed a significant growth and made Rs 4.65 crore, taking the total up to Rs 7.3 crore so far. Add in the overseas collection of Rs 1.1 crore, the total earnings as of now worldwide is Rs 9.7 crore.
Thaai Kizhavi takes a fabulous opening given the film relies completely on content, and performances by the cast led by Radikaa Sarathkumar.
