Superstar Rajinikanthâs latest cop action film, Vettaiyan, stormed into cinemas last Thursday amidst immense anticipation. Directed by Gnanavel, the film has received a warm reception from both fans and critics, leading to a massive box office opening worldwide.
The big question on everyoneâs mind is whether Vettaiyan has surpassed the collections of Thalapathy Vijayâs blockbuster GOAT. According to reports, Vettaiyan has crossed the â¹200 crore mark globally in its opening weekend (four days). In comparison, GOAT had grossed over â¹288 crores worldwide within the same time frame, giving the Vijay-starrer a clear edge.
Despite this, Vettaiyan has set new records in Kerala, becoming the highest-grossing Tamil film of 2024 in just four days, a feat that GOAT could not achieve in the region. The Rajinikanth-starrer also did break even in Karnataka over its opening weekend and is trending well in the Telugu states, where it is doing better GOAT.
However, in Tamil Nadu and overseas, Vettaiyan has yet to overtake GOAT, with collections in Tamil Nadu being affected by heavy rains in parts of the state. As Vettaiyan continues its box office run, all eyes are on how it will perform in the coming days and whether it can close the gap with GOAT.
