After an underwhelming run of Ace, Vijay Sethupathi has bounced back strongly with Thalaivan Thalaivii. Despite mixed reviews, the film has turned out to be a big success story and secured a hit verdict at the Indian box office. Released amid decent expectations, it comfortably crossed the 50 crore net milestone and is heading towards the end of its theatrical run. But did it earn enough to surpass Vijay’s other mighty success, Maharaja? Let’s discuss it below!
In the post-COVID era, both Maharaja and the latest Kollywood romantic comedy have emerged as two of the biggest successes for the actor. Talking about Maharaja first, the Tamil thriller opened to mostly positive reviews from critics. Backed by strong performances and a tight screenplay, the film also won the number game.
