UI witnesses good growth on Christmas
The Upendra-led UI, which hit the screens on December 20, has made a good impact at the box office despite receiving mixed reviews. The psychological thriller remained the top choice of Uppi fans on December 25.
According to Sacnilk, a trade website, UI earned Rs 2.48 crore in India on its sixth day. This majorly came from Karnataka as the film has not found many takers in other markets. The figure is nearly 18% higher than the Rs 2.1 crore it made on December 24.

Day 1: Rs 6.95 crore
Day 2: Rs 5.6 crore
Day 3: Rs 5.95 crore
Day 4: Rs 2.35 crore

Day 6: Rs 2.48 crore
The film¡¯s total collection stands at Rs 25.51 crore. UI is expected to slow down a bit today (December 26) as it faces competition from Max. However, given Upendra¡¯s popularity, it is likely to put up respectable numbers over the second weekend.
