Overall, The GOAT minted over 450 crores globally, which includes 372 crores gross from Tamil Nadu and overseas collections. Additionally, the movie sold approximately 1.77 crores of tickets in India, which makes it the most-watched Tamil title of 2024.

No Solo Release For Suriya's Pan India Movie 'Kanguva'?

Chennai, September 18 - Tamil star Suriya's much-awaited Pan India movie Kanguva has been delayed to avert a clash with superstar Rajinikanth's Vettaiyan. Directed by Siva, the film was supposed to be released on October 10 in multiple languages. ## A new release date of Kanguva is yet to be announced but reports say it is eyeing to release in November, either on Diwali or two weeks later. Being a big-budget and the biggest film for the talent involved, it is believed that the makers are trying to give it a solo release in major markets, thus keeping their options open. ## It has been learned that stakeholders are betting big on Kanguva to deliver at the Hindi box office other than Tamil and Telugu, however, as the days pass, it seems the movie won't get a free pass and there are high chances it might come up against a mighty Bollywood film. ## If Kanguva decides to release on Diwali, then there are currently hugely-anticipated, Ajay Devgn-fronted Singham Again and Kartik Aaryan's Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, scheduled to be released and will easily be taking the maximum number of screens.## Another scenario for Kanguva is the November 14/15 release, which is more likely to be its official date. However, it is another complicated date for a dub release as there is a buzz in the Bollywood industry that Singham Again is likely to be pushed back by two weeks on November 15. ## In case of a clash with any of the aforementioned two Bollywood films, Kanguva will certainly be more affected. It will be difficult for it to get the desired result at the Hindi box office unless another film completely misfires. However, the official announcement hasn't been made yet and there are chances Kanguva might get a solo release in Hindi if Singham Again decides to stick with the Diwali release. ## Stay tuned...
