Vettaiyan Box Office Collection Day 8: Rajinikanth’s Biggie Underperforms In Week 1, Earns 58.77 Crores Less Than The GOAT

Rajinikanth’s Vettaiyan was expected to create fireworks at ticket windows, but the overall performance remained just about decent. After Thalapathy Vijay’s The Greatest Of All Time (The GOAT), the biggie was expected to rake in big numbers, but that hasn’t happened, and the collection at the Indian box office stayed below the 125 crore mark. Keep reading for a detailed collection report for 8 days!

The Kollywood action drama was released in theatres on October 10. Upon its release, the film received mixed to decent reviews from critics, and word-of-mouth among the ticket-buying audience was mostly favorable. However, it lacked the feel of a commercial entertainer, which is needed to attract a wider audience.

As per the latest collection update, Vettaiyan did a business of 3.10 crores on day 8, taking the total to 123.68 crores net (all languages) at the Indian box office in the extended opening week. This total looks good when we consider it a bit different affair than the usual Rajinikanth entertainers. However, when we think of its reported budget, which is said to be 300 crores, the numbers are clearly not up to par.
