Ajith’s recent theatrical release, Vidaamuyarchi, was a big disappointment in the theaters. The film had a good first day at the box office and registered a career-best opening number for the star. However, it failed to have a decent run at the theaters after the first weekend. Surprisingly, Ajith’s Vidaamuyarchi overtakes Daaku Maharaaj on Netflix now.
Daaku Maharaaj scored a massive success upon its OTT release, and it took the OTT giant Netflix by storm. The action drama started trending at the no. 1 position in India and was listed in the top 10 in many countries, making a global impact.
Now the position of Daaku has been replaced on Netflix on the 1st day itself by Ajith-Magizh Thirumeni’s film. Ajith’s Vidaamuyarchi overtakes Daaku Maharaaj on Netflix. The film started streaming on OTT yesterday.
It is widely known that Ajith is a big star, and the film received below-par word of mouth upon its theatrical release. Also, most of the people waited for the OTT release because of such weak talk. That is the reason for the film trending in the No. 1 position immediately in India.
Vidaamuyarchi is receiving a similar kind of review from OTT audiences too, as most of the viewers say that it has a decent first half but was diluted by a dull second half. OTT audiences also felt that the film was too stretched, and it is receiving mixed responses, much like the theatrical release.
The movie is available for streaming in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, and Hindi. Netflix bought Vidaamuyarchi for a huge price, which is said to be around 70 Cr. So, they need massive viewership for the valued rights.
