'Demonte Colony' fares well at the ticket window

Chennai: Tamil horror-thriller 'Demonte Colony', which features actor Arulnithi in the lead, has raked in approximately Rs.6 crore in its first week in Tamil Nadu.

"The film has opened to phenomenal numbers. In its first week, it has approximately grossed Rs.6 crore. It is already a hit and continues to run to packed houses," trade analyst Trinath told IANS.
