Box Office: Thalapathy Vijay's Beast Crosses 200 Crores Worldwide

Chennai, April 21 - Thalapthy Vijay's action thriller, "Beast" has crossed the 200 crores gross at the worldwide box office. The movie, however, is declining drastically at the domestic box office after the long 5-day opening weekend.

Directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, the movie was released on April 13 and scored 112.3 crores net in the first 5 days. Once the opening ended, the movie plumbed big time and minted only 7.95 crores net in the next 3 days, pushing the domestic net cume to 120.25 crores in 8 days.



At the overseas box office, "Beast" has made 60.1 crores gross, helping the worldwide cume to go past the 200 crores mark. It has become Thalapathy Vijay's 5th movie to reach the landmark box office figure after "Bigil", "Mersal", "Sarkar", and "Master".

Meanwhile, despite the so-so outing at the domestic box office, "Beast" has become the first film of 2022 to score 100 crores gross in Tamil Nadu state. It has made 101 crores in the home state, followed by 12.92 crores in Karnataka, 11.96 crores in AP/TG, 10.5 crores in Kerala, and 3.55 crores in the rest of India.

The original Tamil version has been the best performing for this Sun Pictures production with 110 crores net. Telugu has also contributed approx. 9 crores while Hindi and Kannada versions have been a massive disappointment with approx. 1.35 crores.

The movie revolves around an ex-RAW agent's crusade to rescue people held hostage in a shopping mall by terrorists. It also stars Pooja Hegde as the female lead alongside Selvaraghavan, Shine Tom Chacko, Yogi Babu, and Redin Kingsley play supporting roles.
