On its 20th day, Vaazhai cruises closer than ever towards the 40 crore mark.

Vaazhai started with 1.15 crore on its opening day. However, it was destined to be a success since, through positive word of mouth, the movie’s box office collections started to snowball. The collections took a direct jump to 2.5 crore on its second day. At the same time, the film earned 4 crore on its third day. The first-week collections came to 14.15 crore with which it quickly managed to recover its budget.
The movie stars Ponvel M, Kalaiyarasan, and Nikhila Vimal in the lead roles. Interestingly, Vaazhai is said to be inspired by the director Mari Selvaraj’s own life. The film’s plot revolves around the main protagonist, Sivanaindhan (Ponvel M), who works on a banana plantation while attending school. However, he hates working on the plantation under deplorable conditions. Not only is the film witnessing a slow upward graph at the box office, but it has also attained immense critical acclaim, with the performances of the lead star cast winning several laurels amongst the neutral audience. We hope that only good things await now for the Vaazhai box office, and that it also manages to reach the 50 crore milestone.
