Despite a strong start, the action-thriller’s momentum slows down as it enters its second week

February 13, 2025: Ajith’s Vidaamuyarchi Faces Dip After Initial Surge

Ajith Kumar’s latest action-thriller, Vidaamuyarchi, witnessed a 31.94% drop in box office collections on Day 7, following a brief surge in earnings earlier this week. The Magizh Thirumeni directorial, which opened to a massive ₹26 crore in India on February 6, has shown fluctuating trends at the box office, struggling to maintain its initial momentum.

Film’s Premise & Audience Response

Vidaamuyarchi, an official Tamil remake of the 1997 Hollywood thriller Breakdown directed by Jonathan Mostow, is set in Azerbaijan. The story revolves around a man’s desperate mission to rescue his kidnapped wife from a mysterious criminal group. While the film has received positive responses for Ajith’s performance and action sequences, it has failed to sustain a strong hold at the box office.

OTT Release Update

Amid its theatrical run, Netflix has secured the digital streaming rights for Vidaamuyarchi, as per Filmibeat. The film, originally slated for a Pongal 2025 release, was postponed and finally hit screens in February.

International Reception

Despite its mixed performance in India, the film is gaining traction overseas. Film trade analyst Ramesh Bala noted in a social media post that Vidaamuyarchi crossed 10,000 admissions in France, showing promise in international markets.

With competition from other regional and Bollywood releases, it remains to be seen how Vidaamuyarchi fares in its second week. Will it maintain steady collections, or will it struggle further? Stay tuned for more updates!
