Box Office: Veera Dheera Sooran Part 2 continues underwhelming run of Chiyaan Vikram barring Ponniyin Selvan movies

Box Office: Veera Dheera Sooran Part 2 continues underwhelming run of Chiyaan Vikram barring Ponniyin Selvan movies

Published by Parlour News

Tamil actor Chiyaan Vikram’s latest release, Veera Dheera Sooran Part 2, has finally hit theaters after a long wait, but the journey hasn’t been an easy one. The film was caught in a legitimate tangle with financier B4U over OTT rights, which led to cancellation of morning shows and matinees as well in almost all the territories. The film made it to the enormous screen only by the evening, losing important prime-time openings.  This unexpected setback had a direct impact on its box office numbers, making its debut a quiet one rather than the explosive opening fans were hoping for. To make things more challenging, Veera Dheera Sooran Part 2 arrived on the same day as L2 Empuraan, which has been on a record-breaking spree, already crossing ₹100 crore worldwide in just two days. In contrast, Vikram’s film managed to clock only ₹3.85 crore gross on Day 1 and saw a slight dip to ₹3.5 crore on the second day. Interestingly, critics and audiences have given Veera Dheera Sooran Part 2 highly positive reviews. Some …

Veera Dheera Sooran’s Arun Kumar reveals Chiyaan Vikram starrer revolves around ‘violence, forgiveness and guilt’; addresses prequel plans

Published by Parlour News

Chiyaan Vikram is set to return to the big screen with the highly anticipated film Veera Dheera Sooran: Part 2, scheduled for release in 2025. Interestingly, the movie’s prequel is planned to follow suit, and director Arun Kumar has shared insights into this unconventional decision. In an interview with Cinema Vikatan, Arun Kumar explained, “My original idea was focused solely on the sequel. However, as I began writing the film, many backstories emerged. Right now, we don’t need to explore those. It’s like meeting someone for the first time—we ask them about today first, and only later delve into their past. Similarly, this film focuses on one specific night.” Drawing a comparison with his previous film, Chithha, the director elaborated that it’s challenging to define a character through the events of just one night. In Chithha, the protagonist’s journey spanned a significant time period, offering a slice of his life. This inspired the decision to explore more stories through a prequel, which will delve into the backstories in greater depth. Sharing more details about Veera …
