Good Bad Ugly vs Vidaamuyarchi Tamil Nadu Box Office Day 2: Ajith Kumar’s mass-entertainer overpowers his action-thriller

Sometimes, it’s not just the star but the style of storytelling that pulls the audience to theaters. Ajith Kumar, one of Tamil cinema’s most bankable names, has proven this again, this time with himself as competition with his last release.  Released on April 10, Good Bad Ugly, a flashy action-comedy directed by Adhik Ravichandran, came with zero subtlety and 100% masala. Ajith’s triple avatar, coupled with high-octane stunts and nostalgia-heavy moments, resonated instantly with fans. By the end of Day 1, the film clocked Rs 28 crore in Tamil Nadu and Rs 51 crore worldwide. On Day 2, it maintained momentum with another solid Rs 15 crore in the home state and Rs 24 crore globally.

Directed by Magizh Thirumeni, Vidaamuyarchi saw a sharp fall from its previous earnings, dropping from ₹13 lakh on Monday to ₹7 lakh on Tuesday. While Vidaamuyarchi had a solid first week, collecting ₹72 crore, its momentum has significantly slowed due to word of mouth and various other reasons. Despite emerging as the top Tamil opener of the year, surpassing Vishal’s Madha Gaja Raja, Vidaamuyarchi failed to sustain its hold at the box office in the following weeks. The film, which minted huge from its Tamil version alone, had a lacklustre performance from the Telugu version while it hasn’t seen a Hindi release. OTT Release on Netflix With its theatrical run losing steam, Vidaamuyarchi is now set for an OTT debut on Netflix on March 3.
