In Tamil Nadu, Master has already made the record of the top fourth opening day grosser. Interestingly, all four films on the list belong to Thalapathy Vijay with Sarkar on the top, followed by Bigil, Mersal and Master.
The figures suggest an exemplary opening of Master in the South and with the film releasing in the North today, it would be interesting to see just how many new records does it make and how many old ones does it shatter in no time.
