The box office battle between Santhanam’s comedy flick Inga Naan Thaan Kingu and Kavin Raj’s thriller Star has seen a clear winner in its first week. While Star entered its second week with a total collection of 17.50 crore (assumed to be based on early estimates), Inga Naan Thaan Kingu has emerged as the surprise contender.
Directed by Selva Bharathy, Inga Naan Thaan Kingu has garnered positive buzz for its lighthearted humour. Early estimates suggest the film collected approximately 5.79 crore in its first week, exceeding expectations. This impressive performance indicates a strong audience appetite for comedies, especially considering the ongoing competition from Star.

Star, on the other hand, seems to be struggling to maintain the momentum it had garnered in its opening week. While a total collection of 17.50 crore in two weeks is decent, the lack of significant growth suggests the film might not meet initial box office expectations. While Star has already recovered its budget, the film might end its box office run from this week.

This clash also highlights an interesting dynamic in Tamil cinema. While comedies are currently dominating, there’s always a space for well-made dramas. The success of “Star” in its initial days demonstrates this potential. However, for dramas to succeed, they need to find a way to connect with audiences seeking a different cinematic experience.
