Rajnikanth’s Vettaiyan started well, but it has failed to maintain the required pace. While the numbers look good considering the film’s concept and genre, when a mammoth budget comes into the picture, it’s clearly not a theatrical winner and is heading towards a failure tag at the Indian box office. In the latest development, the biggie crossed the 125-crore mark with a regular drop on day 9. Keep reading for a detailed collection report!
Amid the talks of the film’s underperformance, reports suggest that the Kollywood action drama was initially sanctioned for a budget much below 200 crores, but the inclusion of big names and grand scale of production pushed the final budget to a much higher level. Now, this inflated budget is proving to be a headache as the film is far from recovering the cost through its domestic theatrical run.
On the second Thursday, Vettaiyan earned 3.10 crores. Yesterday, a drop of 12.90% was seen as 2.70 crores came in on day 9. Including this, the total at the Indian box office now stands at 126.38 crores net (all languages). Today and tomorrow, a healthy jump will be witnessed, and the biggie will aim to wrap up its second weekend at around 135 crores or even more.
