Reportedly, Rajinikanth and Nayanthara starrer Darbar opened on a strong note in Tamil Nadu. It bagged around  Rs 20 crores only in Tamil Nadu. A few trade analysts have predicted that Darbar could be one of the highest-grossing films of the year as no other big project from the south has been released or announced yet.

The reports also add that the coming festive season could be beneficial for the film (as Pongal, and Republic Day is around the corner). Darbar could boat a good amount in its first week as actor Dhanush's Pattas is also around the corner.

Apart from Tamil, the film released in multiple languages across India. The gross collection of the film across the country sums up at around Rs 36 crores. The film might face tough competition soon, as Mahesh Babu's Sarileru Neekevvaru is slated to release on January 11, 2020. Reportedly, Darbar collected Rs 5.9 crores in the United States.
