Ajith’s had done it this time and that too with great pace. Yes, we are talking about the collection of his latest release named Vedalam directed by Siva which released on this Deewali season. The film had got mixed response but the collection is telling that it is very much appealed the common audience all over. As per the latest reports from trade pundits, the film had grossed over 100 crore rupees from worldwide and that too in just 8 days of its theatrical run. It is a record as well because it is the fastest to enter in 100 crore club in Tamil Cinema History.
It is now joins the club of fastest 100 crore film in kollywood along with Rajinikanth’s Enthiran, Linga and Vikarm’s I. But Vedalam is more strong because all the above mentioned three films were solo releases at that time. But Vedalam was not like that as it has great competition from none other than Ulaga Nayakan Kamal Haasan starrer flick Thoongavanam which is also doing well with positive reviews. From Tamil Nadu alone, vedhalam had grossed above 60 crore rupees in just 8 days and we have to consider the fact of high competition from Thoongavanam as well as the bad weather condition that prevailing in Tamil Nadu. Even after the heavy rains there people are pouring into the cinema halls to watch Vedalam.
From Karnataka it has grossed around 7 crore rupees and from Kerala it had got above 5 crore as well. In Kerala the film had received many negative reviews but still it got the box office collection that had eluded previous Kollywood big flicks that released this year like Mass and Puli. It had only released its Tamil version all over and from other regions of India it had raked in 2 crore rupees approximately.
In Andhra Pradesh and Telengana, the film is not yet released as well. From the overseas market it had grossed more than 26 crores rupees and the major part of the collection has come from Malaysia and Gulf countries as usual.
