Thalapathy Vijay has roared at the box office before he arrived with his final film, Jana Nayagan! His 2005 film, Sachein is currently running in theaters and earning good numbers at the box office with its re-release! However, the film despite having decent ticket pre-sales on BMS, did not bring the expected numbers!

Surpasses Every Single Re-Release

Interestingly, Thalapathy Vijay’s film was speculated to surpass the lifetime collection of every single Tamil re-release at the box office, except for his own Ghilli! Ghilli’s re-release was historic at the box office, earning 32.50 crore worldwide during the re-run.

Sachein Re-Release Box Office Collection

Sachein was speculated to earn an overhyped estimate of 10 crore at the box office on its opening day, which was almost 25% more than Ajith’s Good Bad Ugly, which earned only in the 8 crore range! However, failing to meet the expectations, the film managed to open at 1.76 crore in Tamil Nadu and an additional 14.6 lakh in Karnataka.

Sachein Ticket Sales On BMS

The film has been selling tickets like hotcakes on BMS. In fact, it is now the 12th re-release to cross 150K ticket sales on BMS. Hopefully, the film might eventually cross Ghilli to bring the biggest re-release for a Tamil film.

Check out the ticket sales of the film before and after the release day on BMS.

  • Pre Sales: 72.62K
  • April 18: 49.78K
  • April 19: 31.8K* (till 11 pm)

Total: 154.2K*

It would be interesting to see if the film manages to enter the top 10 highest-grossing South Indian re-releases at the box office.
