What’s Affecting Vidaamuyarchi’s Performance?
✅ Strong Opening: The film had a fantastic debut, setting records as 2025’s biggest Tamil opener.
✅ Star Power: Ajith Kumar’s loyal fan base contributed to an explosive first weekend.
❌ Second-Week Slowdown: Collections dropped significantly after Week 1.
❌ Tough Competition: Other big releases, including Chhaava, are dominating the box office.
Will Vidaamuyarchi Set Another Record?
While the film still has some room for growth, it is unlikely to break new box office records unless it gains momentum over the weekend. If its downward trend continues, crossing ₹100 crore domestically might be a challenge.
