The new Tamil action and martial arts movie Blast, starring Arjun Sarja and Abhirami, had a slow start at the box office. Even though it has a very promising story, the film did not live up to its full potential, which hurt its earnings. To finish its first weekend successfully, the movie needs to pull off a miracle and reach the ₹10-crore mark.
The live updates, written by Abhishek Ranjit, show how the movie performed on its first few days according to data from Sacnilk and tracking notes from Taran Adarsh:
