Rajinikanth’s Vettaiyan completed 2 days in theatres and has managed to secure a good score. After registering a start of over 30 crores, the film was expected to remain on similar lines yesterday due to the holiday (in Tamil Nadu), but it didn’t happen. Nonetheless, a good total has come on board as the milestone of 50 crores has been crossed at the Indian box office. Keep reading for a detailed collection report of day 2!
The reception among critics has been mixed. Though word-of-mouth is decent among the ticket-buying audience, the overall theme and genre have restricted the film from growing exponentially. And it’s not a good sign as this Kollywood biggie is reportedly carrying a budget of 300 crores or so. So, a solid collection is much needed during the opening weekend.
Vettaiyan did a business of 32 crores on day 1, and on day 2, it witnessed a drop of 25% to earn 24 crores. Ideally, the collection should have been higher than the opening day or in the range of 30 crores, but that momentum was missing. As the film isn’t a complete mass affair, it is underperforming as compared to Rajinikanth’s standard.
