Box Office: 'The Greatest of All Time' Second Day/First Friday Early Estimates

Chennai, September 6 - After the sensational opening day collection, Thalapathy Vijay's action thriller The Greatest of All Time sees a drop of around 35% on its second day which is a regular drop for a South Indian movie after the huge start. ## The concerning thing for the movie, however, is the heavy drop outside Tamil Nadu in states like Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Kerala, and Karnataka while the rest of the Indian market is also witnessing a drop. In the home state, Tamil Nadu, The GOAT has a good hold though with a drop of around 30%. ## According to early estimates, The GOAT is expected to score 21-23 crores gross collection in Tamil Nadu while the overall India gross is expected to be around 30 crores gross (25 crores net) in all versions on its second day/first Friday. This, however, can be seen as a good hold after the mixed reviews everywhere. ## The total domestic collection of The GOAT is around 82 crores gross (69 crores net) after two days. In Tamil Nadu, the movie is around 50 crores gross which is excellent. It is expected to score a jump on Saturday and Sunday as the first weekend is aiming to be 150+ crores gross domestically. ## Stay tuned...

Mixed To Positive Audience Report For Thalapathy Vijay's 'The GOAT'

Chennai, September 5 - Thalapathy Vijay's penultimate movie The Greatest of All Time has been released on the big screen amid massive anticipation. The movie is directed by Venkat Prabhu and produced by AGS Entertainment on a budget of around 400 crores. ## The GOAT had early morning shows in Telugu states and as per the initial audience reception, the movie is a mixed bag of everything. While the audience has been praising Thalapathy Vijay for playing the dual role of a middle-aged man and a teenage kid, the movie is lacking in other aspects. ## It has been observed through audience reception that the direction by Venkat Prabhu is uneven with few dragged scenes in the second half. The background music by Yuvan Shankar Raja is also getting thumbs down from the audience. The screenplay of the film is said to be stretched and it needed someone trimming, especially in the second half.## However, Thalapathy Vijay is once again getting high praise for carrying the film on his shoulder, especially the younger version of his dual role is said to be one of the best in his filmography. As said, the movie does offer a fan service with mixed reception from the general audience. ## Thalapathy Vijay, however, proved over the years that he is a critic-proof star as far as box office success is concerned. The GOAT has had excellent pre-sales all over and has opened to houseful boards across Tamil Nadu and many other areas. It is expected to take the opening of 100+ crores gross worldwide, including 50+ crores gross in India. ## Stay tuned...
