The much-anticipated family entertainer Thalaivan Thalaivi has taken a stellar start at the Tamil Nadu box office, grossing approximately 6.5 crore on its opening day. Directed by Pandiraj, the film has delivered the biggest career-opening day for Vijay Sethupathi as a solo lead, surpassing his previous best, Maharaja.
Thalaivan Thalaivii had a terrific turnout during evening and night shows on Day 1, with packed houses across major centres. With such momentum, Saturday and Sunday are expected to clock close to double-digit figures or even more, setting up a massive weekend total.
Early audience response has been overwhelmingly positive, with strong word-of-mouth driving footfall across multiplexes and single screens alike. The film’s clever blend of humor, emotional depth, and family-centric storytelling has struck a chord with audiences, particularly among couples and family crowds.
Early bookings show solid momentum, pointing toward a 25 crore weekend in Tamil Nadu alone, a significant achievement in Vijay Sethupathi’s filmography.
Thalaivan Thalaivii also marks a major comeback for Sathya Jyothi Films, with trade analysts predicting that it could become their biggest hit since Viswasam.
