No 100 Crore Opening For Vettaiyan!

0

Till date, only two films of Tamil cinema have managed to mint a worldwide gross of INR 100 crore on their first day of theatrical release: Leo and The Greatest Of All Time. Yes, no other star apart from ‘Thalapathy’ Vijay has done it.

Now that Rajinikanth’s Vettaiyan is gearing up for release, experts predicted it to join this elite club. But sadly, it is not happening. Owing to its genre, the film’s advance bookings are quite ordinary worldwide.

Vettaiyan might mint a gross of INR 20 crore from Tamil Nadu; at the overseas belt, the numbers are likely to be around $4 million. With that being said, this action drama’s first-day worldwide figure will be around INR 70-75 crore. Clearly, there’s absolutely no way this T. J. Gnanawel’s action drama can enter the 100-Crore-Openers Club. It must be seen if Suriya’s Kanguva would get past this line.

Sree Vishnu’s recent theatrical release Swag (2024) has had a mixed-to-positive reception upon release. This is the actor’s second collaboration with writer-director Hasith Goli after the blockbuster Raja Raja Chora (2021).

From today, the numbers are likely to be quite minimal. In simpler terms, this film from T. G. Vishwa Prasad’s People Media Factory is yet another box-office failure after Ravi Teja’s Mr. Bachchan (2024). Ritu Varma and Meera Jasmine are the female leads of Swag. Stay tuned for more updates.

In the current times where digital content has become huge, people are finding quality content in the comfort of their homes.

Considering this logic, one might guess that only films with mind-blowing content would fare well at the box office. But in reality, the opposite is happening. Telugu audiences are flocking to theaters in big numbers to watch strictly average films. Devara: Part One, the most recent film of Jr. NTR, is an another example of it. Excluding RRR, from Temper to Devara, NTR has delivered watchable to decent films, but they were not complete blockbusters. Still, they delivered good numbers at the box office

This year film Mahesh Babu-Trivikram’s Guntur Kaaram, which opened to disastrous responses from audiences, still managed to collect a worldwide share of INR 100 crore. All recent films of Mahesh Babu which opens with mixed reviews posts very good numbers at Box office

Prabhas’s Saaho and Adipurush, which opened with a complete disaster WOM, still posted very good numbers for the weekend. Even Salaar and Kalki 2898 AD are not completely unanimous positive WOM films. Still, they emerge as one of the biggest grossers in Indian cinema. 

Allu Arjun’s Pushpa also opened with Mixed WOM and reviews, Still it posts big numbers at Box office

The last three films of ‘Power Star’ have been remakes whose original versions were all over the Internet already. Yet Vakeel Saav even with corona effect and Bheemla Nayak posts good numbers and emerges as Pawan Kalyan’s career biggest at Box office .

These are definitely showcasing that audiences are satisfied with average-content films from stars coming to theaters. But the main concern is Stars are not delivering solid blockbuster films like before.

Pawan Kalyan gave a strong counter to Prakash Raj for speaking casually about this issue and then Prakash Raj started pulling the leg of Pawan Kalyan on twitter.
