Rajinikanth's latest cinematic offering, Vettaiyan, has made a resounding impact at the box office, continuing its strong performance into its second day of release. The film, a gripping cop drama directed by TJ Gnanavel, has captivated audiences with its compelling narrative addressing crucial societal issues such as encounter killings and corruption within the education sector.
Vettaiyan opened to a robust Rs 31.7 crore on its first day, according to industry tracker Sacnilk. The momentum continued into day two, with the film amassing an impressive Rs 23.8 crore, bringing its net domestic total to a substantial Rs 55.5 crore. The film's success is particularly pronounced in Tamil Nadu and Kerala, where audiences have enthusiastically embraced the film's theme and stellar performances.
In its first two days, Vettaiyan has grossed Rs 49.1 crore in Tamil Nadu alone. With the weekend approaching, the film's domestic total is projected to surpass Rs 70 crore. This impressive box office performance places Vettaiyan as a formidable contender in the current cinematic landscape. Its opening weekend collection surpasses the two-day totals of several recent blockbusters, including Indian 2, which earned Rs 43.8 crore in its first two days.
Vettaiyan's box office success is further accentuated by its performance in comparison to other films released on the same date. The film has garnered significant attention despite facing stiff competition in northern India from Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video, starring Rajkummar Rao and Triptii Dimri, and Alia Bhatt's Jigra, both of which released on October 11th. However, Vettaiyan has successfully carved out a niche for itself, attracting audiences with its unique narrative and impressive cast.
The film boasts an ensemble cast, featuring Amitabh Bachchan in his Tamil film debut, alongside Manju Warrier, Kishore, Ritika Singh, Fahadh Faasil and Rana Daggubati. The presence of such esteemed actors has undoubtedly contributed to the film's popularity and box office success. Vettaiyan, marking Rajinikanth's first major release following the blockbuster Jailer directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, which grossed Rs 650 crore worldwide during its run, has proven to be another successful endeavor for the legendary actor, solidifying his position as a box office powerhouse.
