Vettaiyan 2nd Weekend Global Box Office Update: Rajinikanth’s Film Earns Just Rs 11.50 crore; Total Collection Reaches Rs 217 crore
Vettaiyan Sees a Decrease in Box Office Collections in 2nd Weekend
The film, Vettaiyan, directed by TJ Gnanavel and featuring Rajinikanth, Amitabh Bachchan, Manju Warrier, Fahadh Faasil, Rana Daggubati, and others, had a disappointing second weekend at the box office. It only managed to gross around Rs 10.65 crore in India during its second weekend, a significant drop of over 80 percent from the first weekend. The total collection in India after 11 days is Rs 143.55 crore and it is expected to reach Rs 150 crore by the end of its run.
Vettaiyan Expected to Fall Short of Rs 100 Crore in Tamil Nadu
It is predicted that Vettaiyan will not be able to cross the Rs 100 crore mark in Tamil Nadu, likely ending with around Rs 95 crore. The film initially showed promise with its strong performance in the first three days but failed to recover from a drop in numbers on Monday.
Vettaiyan Aims for a Global Collection of Rs 225-230 Crore
The final global collection for Vettaiyan is estimated to be around Rs 225-230 crore, which is considered lackluster for a Rajinikanth film. However, the film’s performance, when viewed without the superstar factor, is not considered poor. Rajinikanth’s ability to deliver at his age is commendable. Despite its reception, Vettaiyan remains the second highest-grossing Kollywood film of the year, behind only The Greatest Of All Time.

About the Film Vettaiyan
Vettaiyan, starring Rajinikanth, follows the story of SP Athiyan IPS, a police officer stationed in Kanniyakumari, living with his wife and nephew. Known as an encounter specialist, he is feared by criminals and goes by the nickname Vettaiyan, meaning The Hunter.
During his duty, Athiyan meets Saranya, a school teacher who fights for her students’ rights and education. Amitabh Bachchan plays Supreme Court Justice Sathyadev, advocating for human rights and against concluding all crimes with encounters.
As the story unfolds, Athiyan faces challenges that lead him to take matters into his own hands, even after being transferred to Chennai. This conflict sets the stage for the investigative drama and a clash of ideologies between encountering criminals and upholding human rights.
