The film has resonated with audiences and critics alike, establishing itself as a significant addition to contemporary Tamil cinema.
With Superstar Rajinikanth’s shout out for the film recently, and Vetrimaaran showering praise now, Bison Kaalamaadan is set to have a strong second-weekend run at the box office. Adding to the momentum, the Telugu version of the film was released today, broadening its reach and audience base.
