Thalaivar Rajinikanth’s latest action-packed entertainer, “Vettaiyan The Hunter,” directed by TJ.Gnanavel, is proving to be a box office success, defying early predictions of a dwindling star power. The film, initially met with a lack of hype, has surprised audiences and critics alike, demonstrating that Rajinikanth’s magic on the big screen remains as potent as ever.
Despite initial skepticism and predictions of Rajinikanth’s declining influence, “Vettaiyan The Hunter” opened to decent collections, which have steadily grown in the days following its release. Trade analysts are now predicting that the film’s box office numbers are set to climb further, fueled by the Dussehra holiday weekend.
The film reportedly raked in approximately Rs 30 crore (nett) in India on its opening day, with the Tamil version contributing a substantial Rs 26.15 crore. This impressive performance has positioned “Vettaiyan The Hunter” as the second biggest opener in Tamil cinema this year, trailing behind only “GOAT,” which earned approximately Rs 44 crore (nett) on its opening day.
The film’s success can be attributed to several factors, including Rajinikanth’s charismatic presence and powerful performance, the supporting cast, which includes Amitabh Bachchan, Fahadh Faasil, and Rana, and director TJ.Gnanavel’s impactful dialogues and thought-provoking storyline.
“Vettaiyan The Hunter” is poised to capitalize on the extended Dussehra holiday, with analysts predicting a surge in collections over the next three days. This box office success showcases Rajinikanth’s enduring popularity and solidifies his place as a force to be reckoned with in the Indian film industry. His ability to connect with audiences through compelling narratives and powerful performances proves that his star power is far from fading.
