Despite its hype, the Telugu version failed to gain traction, earning only ₹2 crore in total, with ₹50 lakh on opening day and declining numbers since then.
🔹 Challenges & Competition
✅ Ajith’s Strong Fanbase Ensured a Solid Start – The initial collections were promising.
✅ Good Cinematography & Action Sequences Praised – Azerbaijan’s scenic visuals and action choreography have received appreciation.
❌ Declining Occupancy in Theatres – Weak word-of-mouth and new competition have impacted its hold.
❌ New Releases Taking Over – With newer films hitting the screens, ‘Vidaamuyarchi’ faces a tough challenge ahead.
❌ Critics Highlight Slow Screenplay – Reviews suggest that a faster pace and stronger emotional depth could have helped.
🔹 Verdict & Future Prospects
While Ajith’s star power ensured an impressive global opening, the film’s long-term success now depends on its weekend hold. If the third weekend doesn’t see an upswing, ‘Vidaamuyarchi’ may struggle to cross the ₹150 crore mark in its theatrical run.
