Box Office: 'Vettaiyan' Opening Day Early Estimates

Chennai, October 10 - After the massive success of Jailer last year, superstar Rajinikanth returned to the big screen with the action drama Vettaiyan which was released on October 10 amid much anticipation and is off to a very good start at the box office.

Vettaiyan is different from a regular commercial entertainer and despite that, the movie has taken a solid start in the home state, Tamil Nadu. According to the early estimates, the film is headed for 20-22 crores gross opening day in the state which can go higher depending on how strong walk-ins are.



Apart from TN, Vettaiyan is expected to gross 6-6.50 crores in Karnataka and 3.50+ crores in Telugu states. In Kerala, the movie has taken a solid start with an estimated 3.50+ crores while the rest of India gross is expected to be in the range of 1 crore.

Overall, the film is estimated to score 35-37 crore gross collection at the domestic box office on its opening day which may vary a little bit depending on spot bookings. This is easily the second biggest opening for a Tamil title of the year after Thalapathy Vijay's The GOAT.

The initial word of mouth seems to be positive for the movie, especially in Tamil Nadu and this should lead to a good opening weekend. The festive season should boost the box office prospects of the movie which remains to see.
