Vettaiyan starring Rajinikanth released last year and became a decent grosser at the box office. The film didn’t reach the expectation level set by the fans and audience. But, surprisingly, Vettaiyan has surpassed Vijay’s The GOAT that became a big blockbuster on Television.
In Tamil, Vettaiyan delivered a TRP of 11.65 on Sun TV premiere whereas The GOAT only delivered 7.60 TRP on ZEE Tamil premiere. This is indeed a surprise for all considering the upper hand that The GOAT had at the box office last year. The film, which opened on an average word of mouth gradually rocked the box office.
The GOAT grossed nearly 500 crores worldwide with a decent word of mouth stunning all. Vettaiyan could only gross nearly 250 crores worldwide. But it couldn’t repeat the magic on TV like Vettaiyan. The non-viewership of Vettaiyan theatrically would’ve helped it get the TRP. This will at least be a good development for the team.
