It’s been a long time since Rajinikanth hasn’t tasted a successful film in the Hindi market. No doubt, the superstar enjoys massive popularity among the Hindi audience, but when it comes to the theatrical run of his biggies, he has seen a complete rejection. Now, even his latest release, Vettaiyan (Hindi), has turned out to be a complete washout at the Indian box office. Keep reading for a 9-day collection report!
It’s true that after 2.0, Rajini was out of form due to back-to-back underperformers, but last year, with Jailer, he made a smashing comeback. Due to positive word-of-mouth, it pulled off a massive total in the long run, but unfortunately, it failed to make a mark with its Hindi dubbed version. The Hindi-dubbed version was a failure, with just 7.30 crores* coming in at the Indian box office in the lifetime run.
As Vettaiyan marked the reunion of Rajinikanth and Amitabh Bachchan after 33 years, it was expected to perform well in the Hindi market. Also, as both Rajini and Amitabh were returning after delivering big successes, Jailer and Kalki 2898 AD, respectively, the film was expected to enjoy the halo effect. Shockingly, Rajini’s latest release has fared lower than Jailer.
