The two Tamil biggies were released this Pongal, while Dhanush and Sivakarthikeyan clashed at the box office for the first time.

On day 8 (January 19), ‘Captain Miller’ and ‘Ayalaan’ reportedly grossed Rs 4 crore and Rs 4.5 crore, respectively. Whereas, Sivakarthikeyan’s ‘Ayalaan’ continues to dominate the overall collection as the science fiction drama leads Dhanush’s periodic action drama by more than Rs 3 crore. ‘Ayalaan’ has reportedly grossed Rs 70 crore worldwide in 8 days, while ‘Captain Miller’ has earned almost Rs 67 crore in 8 days. However, both films have retained the most screens for the second week, and the reservation for both films for the next two days looks healthy.
