Overview
- The film opened July 23 to a blockbuster weekend and crossed the Rs 200 crore mark worldwide within its first four days, driven largely by fan demand for Vijay’s billed farewell film.
- The first Monday (reported by Sacnilk) brought an estimated India net of Rs 10.15 crore on July 27, a roughly 68% drop from Sunday’s collection.
- Day‑6 and Day‑7 tracking showed continued weekday declines even as different outlets reported growing cumulative worldwide totals in the mid‑to‑high Rs 240–255 crore range.
- Director H. Vinoth said six deleted scenes — two comedy, two action and two emotional — may be restored to theatrical prints next week, and the makers have not confirmed an OTT date despite media speculation of a mid‑August window.
- The film’s delayed clearance by the CBFC, pre‑release piracy and widely reported large production costs mean sustained weekend hold and clear distribution timing are now key to meeting breakeven expectations, with the Tamil version and Tamil Nadu receipts remaining the main revenue driver.
