Thalapathy Vijay‘s farewell film Jana Nayagan had a solid start at the global box office. Despite mixed reviews and leaks, the film has collected RS. 80 crore worldwide on its first day. Although Jana Nayagan doesn’t surpass Vijay’s biggest openers like Leo and The GOAT, it is still an impressive achievement considering the film released amid mixed reviews and was hit by piracy concerns.
A comparison with Vijay’s recent films shows where Jana Nayagan stands:
GOAT – 104.75CR
LEO – 146.15CR
Varisu – 47.52CR
BEAST – 86.15CR
Jana Nayagan – 80 crore
Master – 50.02Cr
Bigil – 62.85Cr
Sarkar – 67Cr
Mersal – 47.15Cr
Jana Nayagan opening once again underlines Thalapathy Vijay’s immense box-office pull. The bigger test, however, begins now. Day-one collections are largely driven by Vijay’s loyal fan base. But the film’s long-term box-office performance will depend on how general audiences respond over the weekend.
At this stage, the next three to four days will determine whether Jana Nayagan turns into a commercial success or remains a strong opener with limited legs.
