Vettaiyan box office collection day 2: Rajinikanth film crosses ₹100 crore, is 5th highest-grossing Tamil film of 2024

Rajinikanth’s latest release Vettaiyan has continued its grand procession at the box office. After a strong opening day when it earned ₹31.70 crore net in India, the action drama held well on its first Friday, netting ₹24 crore more to take its two-day domestic total past ₹50 crore. But Vettaiyan’s biggest victory lies in its overseas collections, which has helped it cross ₹100 crore.

Vettaiyan has now earned ₹55.70 crore net in India, the bulk of which has come from its Tamil version. The dubbed versions have contributed just ₹6.50 crore to the film’s total. That Vettaiyan suffered a drop of just 24% from its opening day is a good sign for the film. The film’s gross collection from India over the two days is ₹64.80 crore. It has also earned over $4.4 million overseas, taking its worldwide total to ₹100.80 crore as per Sacnilk.

Highest grossing Tamil films of 2024

In just two days, Vettaiyan has entered the top 5 in the list of highest-grossing Tamil films of 2024. With its day two collections, the Rajinikanth-starrer leapt past Captain Miller ( ₹88 crore) and Aranamai 4 ( ₹100 crore) to sit at the fifth spot in the list. Above it are The Greatest of All Time ( ₹456 crore), Raayan ( ₹160 crore), Indian 2 ( ₹151 crore), and Maharaja ( ₹110 crore). Judging by its pace, it is likely to reach the second spot this weekend itself and may just challenge Thalapathy Vijay’s GOAT for the top spot in the weeks to come.
