Thalapathy Vijay is enjoying massive stardom and following. He is now the most bankable star in Tamil cinema. Vijay is the preferred choice of makers to make films. One of the leading producers in the Telugu industry Dil Raju went all the way to Tamil Nadu to do a film with him.
This speaks volumes about his stardom. His craze is that irrespective of the talk his films set the box office on fire. Even his flop films create good business in theatres making him one of the most successful stars in India.
His latest film Varisu was released the other day in a big way. But the trade numbers say that Vijay failed to create magic. The family entertainer Varisu fell short of Rs 50 crores gross on day one as it could see a gross of Rs 46 crores worldwide.
Even in Tamil Nadu Varisu cannot cross the Rs 20 crore mark in gross on day one. Despite the massive craze, he enjoys Vijay’s film recorded the least gross on day one worldwide since 2017. However, there are a few reasons for this.
Tamil Nadu has less number of screens compared to Telugu states. Even in that half of the screens were allocated to Ajith’s film. This impacted Varisu. If not for the competition from Ajith, Varisu might have recorded good numbers.
Talking about the Tamil Nadu scenario. Vijay’s Varisu managed to get a gross of 19.5 cr while Ajith’s Thunivu scored big and saw a gross of Rs 23 crores. Vijay doing a family entertainer after a long time might have also impacted the box office performance of Varisu.
