Competitive Landscape and Future Projections

In comparison to other films released this year, Vettaiyan has outperformed Kamal Haasan’s Indian 2, which earned ₹43.8 crore over its first two days. However, it still trails behind Vijay’s GOAT, which collected around ₹70 crore in the same timeframe. Despite facing competition from films like Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video and Alia Bhatt’s Jigra, Vettaiyan is expected to maintain strong box office performance through the weekend, with projections suggesting it could exceed ₹70 crore in total domestic collections.

About the Film

Directed by TJ Gnanavel, Vettaiyan features a stellar cast that includes Amitabh Bachchan in his Tamil film debut alongside Rajinikanth, Fahadh Faasil, and Manju Warrier. The film addresses serious issues such as encounter killings and corruption within the education sector, further enhancing its appeal to audiences. With such strong initial numbers and a solid fanbase, Vettaiyan is poised to become one of the significant hits of 2024 in Tamil cinema.
