Rajinikanth’s latest film, Vettaiyan, has made waves at the box office, achieving impressive milestones just days after its release. With smart marketing and Rajinikanth’s enduring star power, Vettaiyan has garnered attention both in India and internationally. Despite facing stiff competition from other blockbuster films, Vettaiyan’s remarkable ticket sales and captivating storyline have positioned it as one of the must-watch films of the year.
Day 4 Box Office Milestones
Vettaiyan’s strong performance on its fourth day continues to generate excitement among fans and the film industry alike. The film sold an astounding 2.2 million tickets within just four days of its release. Although it falls behind Rajinikanth’s previous hit Jailer and Thalapathy Vijay’s projects in overall ticket sales, Vettaiyan has still made it to the top of the 2024 highest-grossing Indian films list.
On its fourth day, Vettaiyan recorded ticket sales of 217,000, showcasing a slight drop compared to previous days but still performing admirably well. The importance of first weekends cannot be overstated, and Vettaiyan managed to leave a solid footing heading into a promising midweek schedule. With a remarkable Sunday collection, the film is on track to surpass the ₹200 crore milestone globally.
Comparisons with Jailer and Thalapathy Vijay’s Films
Vettaiyan is undoubtedly a box-office blockbuster, yet it faces considerable competition from Rajinikanth’s Jailer and Thalapathy Vijay’s recent releases, including Leo and The Greatest of All Time. Despite the immense anticipation surrounding Vettaiyan’s release, it has not surpassed the records set by Rajinikanth’s earlier films.
Earlier in the year, Jailer achieved impressive box office numbers, particularly during its opening weekend. While Vettaiyan has received a robust response from audiences, it still contends with the high standards set by Vijay’s films, which have established a large fan base through aggressive marketing and widespread appeal.
International Success and Overseas Collection
The international market plays a crucial role in the success of Indian films, including Vettaiyan. As of its fourth day of release, the film has secured ₹65 crore in international ticket sales. Rajinikanth has consistently attracted a loyal audience outside India, particularly in regions such as the US, UAE, and Malaysia, contributing substantially to Vettaiyan’s global box office performance.
