Vettaiyan Box Office Day 1 Advance Booking (Final): Sells Over 9.22 Lakh Tickets But Earns Almost 37% Less Than Thalapathy Vijay’s The GOAT

The wait is over, as the much-awaited Vettaiyan has been released in theatres all across the country today. After Jailer’s grand success, fans were excited to watch Rajinikanth on the big screen again, and finally, the day of celebration came for them. As expected, the film has registered one of the best day 1 pre-sales at the Indian box office in 2024. However, it has stayed below Thalapathy Vijay’s The GOAT by a big margin. Keep reading for a detailed advance booking report!

Unlike Jailer, this one isn’t an out-and-out mass entertainer and a front-loaded affair. Coming from the house of Jai Bhim director TJ Gnanavel, the Kollywood biggie is more of a word-of-mouth-driven affair. Still, it has managed to pull off solid pre-sales for the opening day, surpassing Indian 2 (11.20 crores gross) by a big margin.

As expected, Tamil Nadu drove the majority of day 1 advance booking. Rajinikanth’s stardom has given Vettaiyan a fantastic show count in his home state. According to the current listing, the film is running over 3,500 shows in the state, surpassing The Greatest Of All Time. In the entire nation, the show count is close to 9,500.
