Tamil film 'Sivaji' created history in the Indian film industry in Malaysia with its opening day takings, an official said Sunday despite glitches and violence that marred its premiere.
S. Vel Paari, chief executive of the Pyramid Saimira Theatre Chain distributing the movie in Malaysia informed it raked in takings of 560,000 ringgit (165,000 US) on its opening day.
"Yes, we are surprised since there were technical glitches on Thursday and only 40 of the 53 locations were able to screen the movie," he said.
