Vidaamuyarchi was supposed to be the first big money spinner for Kollywood in 2025, but unfortunately, it became one of the biggest flops in recent times. For Ajith Kumar, it was a major setback on a personal level, as he was returning to the big screen after a gap of over two years. Still, his stardom helped the film cross the 100-crore mark globally, but that was not enough. At the Indian box office, it saw a deficit of over 100 crores.
Expensive affair
For the Tamil film industry, the action thriller was one of the most costly films in recent times. Reportedly, it was made on a budget of 185 crores, making it the most expensive film in Thala Ajith’s career. Against such a cost, the magnum opus was expected to mint big numbers and solid returns, but that didn’t happen.
Vidaamuyarchi’s poor run in India
Unlike some previous Ajith Kumar films, Vidaamuyarchi had comparatively less buzz around itself as promotions were low-key. Still riding high on Thala’s stardom, it took a good start by earning 27 crores on day 1. Afterward, the film failed to maintain its momentum and wrapped up its run at just 81.58 crore net at the Indian box office.
