Yesterday, the Ghilli movie broke another record as it became the fourth-only film to gross 10 crores domestically in a re-release. Other films that made this list were Titanic, Avatar, and Sholay 3D. Additionally, Ghilli has also become the first highest-grossing Indian re-release in international theatres.



When Ghilli was released back in 2004, the film earned more than 30 crores in Tamil Nadu and became one of the highest-grossing films of the time. It seems like the film still has a hold on the Tamil audience, as no re-release before this has received such a huge response in the state. Despite there being not much promotion for the re-release, Ghilli is seeing a great response from the audience worldwide as well.

More about Ghilli

Ghilli stars Thalapathy Vijay, Trisha Krishnan, and Prakash Raj in the lead roles. Ashish Vidyarthi, Nagendra Prasad, Janaki Ganesh, and many others also appear in the film in supporting roles. The film is directed by Dharani and is a remake of a Telugu film called 'Okkadu'. The Telugu film was released in 2003 and starred Mahesh Babu, Bhumika Chawla, and Prakash Raj in lead roles. Interestingly, Prakash Raj played the antagonist's role in both the Tamil and Telugu versions. Composer Vidyasagar provided the music for Ghilli.

Another surprising fact of the film is about Janaki, who played Vijay's mother in the film. Netizens recently realised that the actress is surprisingly three months younger than Vijay, but she still played his mother's role.
