BEAST delivers impressive box office |
Vijay starrer Beast has done big numbers for a Kollywood movie but ended up being the lowest-grossing movie for Vijay since Mersal in 2017, thanks to a mixed to negative reception and to some degree, competition from the box office juggernaut KGF Chapter 2. Every Vijay release surpassed the previous one since 2017, a streak that ceased with this Nelson directorial. Beast is the fifth-highest grosser ever for Vijay in both India and worldwide. Released on April 13th, the film set the new opening day record in Tamil Nadu besting four years old record of Sarkar. The film posted strong numbers during the weekend but recorded declines after the weekend, eventually closing at Rs. 120 crores in the state, becoming the seventh- highest grosser ever in the state. The film also had a huge opening outside Tamil Nadu but dropped heavily with the release of KGF 2 on the second day. The final numbers were quite fair in AP/TS with nearly Rs. 20 crores and Karnataka with Rs. 15 crores but Kerala was disappointing.
