On its first day of release, 'Vettaiyan' raked in an estimated Rs 30 crore nett in India across all languages. The film's strong performance can be attributed to the immense popularity of its lead actor, Rajinikanth, who has a dedicated and passionate fan base that consistently drives box office numbers. The Tamil Nadu region, known for its fervent appreciation for Rajinikanth's films, contributed significantly to the earnings, bringing in approximately Rs 26.15 crore.

'Vettaiyan's success extends beyond the box office numbers. The film's occupancy rates on its first day were remarkably high, especially in Tamil Nadu. In the Tamil version's 2D screenings, occupancy remained consistent across various time slots. The morning shows had an occupancy rate of 53.95%, the afternoon shows were at 53.51%, and the evening shows registered an occupancy rate of 54.43%. While no night shows were scheduled, leading to 0% occupancy in that slot, the overall occupancy rate for the day was 53.96%, indicating a strong hold on the audience's interest. The film's star-studded cast, including Amitabh Bachchan, Fahadh Faasil, Rana Daggubati, Manju Warrier, Dushara Vijayan, and Ritika Singh, adds to its appeal, attracting audiences from different demographics.
The positive word-of-mouth surrounding 'Vettaiyan' is a testament to its quality and entertainment value. The film's narrative, combined with powerful performances from its stellar cast, has resonated with audiences. The film's success is further bolstered by Rajinikanth's unparalleled mass appeal, drawing large crowds to theatres across India.
