The romance drama 'Hi,' starring Nayanthara and Kavin, opened with a net collection of ₹1.23 crore on its first day, significantly underperforming compared to recent hits.
Critics have described the film as a wholesome entertainer, but noted that its old-school narrative failed to generate the expected momentum at the box office.
The Tamil version contributed ₹1.14 crore to the total, with analysts suggesting the film faces stiff competition from other ongoing theatrical releases.
