Vettaiyan Box Office Day 5 Update: Rajinikanth’s Film Slows Down, Reaches Rs 110 Crore in India
Superstar Rajinikanth’s latest film, Vettaiyan, has made headlines as it crossed the impressive milestone of ₹110 crore at the Indian box office within just five days of its release. The film, which hit theaters on October 10, 2024, has shown a significant drop in earnings on its fifth day, raising questions about its future performance.
Main Points
Box Office Performance
After a fantastic opening weekend, Vettaiyan earned ₹31.7 crore on its first day. The film continued to perform well with collections of ₹24 crore on the second day and ₹26.75 crore on the third day. However, there was a noticeable decline in earnings on the fourth day, where it brought in ₹22.25 crore. By the fifth day, the film managed to earn only ₹5 crore, bringing its total domestic collection to approximately ₹110 crore.
The film’s initial success can be attributed to its solo release during the Dussehra holidays, which allowed it to attract larger audiences to theatres. Despite receiving mixed reviews, the audience turnout remained strong during the opening days. The film’s director, TJ Gnanavel, known for his previous work in Jai Bhim, has crafted an action drama that touches on serious themes such as extrajudicial killings and educational scams.

Vettaiyan Audience Reception
While Vettaiyan had a strong start, the sharp decline in earnings on the fifth day suggests that audience interest may be waning. This trend is not unusual for films that experience a high initial turnout but struggle to maintain momentum as weekdays progress. The mixed reviews from critics might also have influenced audience’s decisions to watch the film.
Vettaiyan Cast and Crew
The film features an ensemble cast including Rajinikanth, Amitabh Bachchan, Rana Daggubati, Fahadh Faasil, Manju Warrier, Dushara Vijayan, and Ritika Singh in pivotal roles. With music composed by Anirudh Ravichander and produced by Lyca Productions, the film was one of the most anticipated releases of 2024.
Vettaiyan Future Projections
As we move into the weekdays following its release, industry experts are keenly observing how Vettaiyan will perform. The initial buzz surrounding the film is likely to fade as audiences look for new entertainment options. It remains to be seen if word-of-mouth can help boost its numbers or if it will continue to see a downward trend.
Comparison with Other Rajinikanth Films
Historically, Rajinikanth’s films have often performed exceptionally well at the box office. For instance, his previous releases like Jailer and 2.0 have set high benchmarks with collections exceeding ₹600 crores globally. While Vettaiyan has made a strong start, it is currently projected to earn around ₹183 crores in total by the end of its run based on current trends
