However surprising it may seem, Vijay’s sci-fi drama The Greatest Of All Time, in spite of the negative reviews from critics, has emerged as a ‘hit’ in most territories. Particularly in the state of Tamil Nadu and overseas, the Venkat Prabhu-directorial has been highly profitable for buyers.
Even in Karnataka, the film achieved breakeven, thus leaving no losses to distributers. Admittedly, The GOAT is a huge flop in Telugu states (Andhra Pradesh & Telangana) and Kerala. Here are the detailed figures of the film:
- Tamil Nadu – 220 Crore
- Overseas – 157 Crore
- Karnataka – 28 Crore
- Kerala – 13.5 Crore
- AP/TG – 12.5 Crore
- ROI – 24 Crore
Total Worldwide Gross – 455 Crore
Breakeven Mark – 400 Crore
Verdict – HIT
Note: All the figures stated are gross (INR).
The film ended up as all time 5th Biggest Grosser in Kollywood after 2PointO, Jailer, Leo and Ponniyin Selvan 1. Vijay becomes the first hero to score back to back 400 Cr grossers in Kollywood.
