While the Canada collections are over US $ 1.13 million and the total collection stands at US $ 3.48 million (Rs 29 crore). The breakeven number for GOAT is said to be about US $ 3 million and one can assume that the film has now ventured into that space. With no big Hindi or Telugu release till 27th September, the film is expected to enjoy a good run at the ticket windows and earn a good profit for everyone involved.
GOAT has already crossed the Rs 150 crore mark in India, with major contributions coming from Tamil Nadu state and Telugu and Hindi versions providing little support.
