Vettaiyan Met With Positive WOM, Performs Well Overseas
The TJ Gnanavel movie has met with positive-to-mixed word of mouth, driving its wheel to a favorable end. However, it’s too early to predict where it’s heading. The real test will begin on weekdays. If it keeps luring the audience, the cop action-drama can write another success story at the box office.
Rajinikanth enjoys a huge fan base internationally, too. The movie opened with USD 3.3 million in foreign locations, which is Rs 27 crore in Indian currencies. According to estimates, it collected well on its second day, too, taking its two-day worldwide gross close to Rs 100 crore.

About Vettaiyan
Vettaiyan, starring Rajinikanth, showcases the story of SP Athiyan IPS, a police officer stationed in Kanniyakumari living with his wife and nephew. The man is known to be an encounter specialist and feared by many criminals, earning him the nickname Vettaiyan, meaning The Hunter.
Along with his professional life, the IPS officer meets a girl called Saranya, a school teacher, and fights for the rights of her students and education. Amitabh Bachchan takes on the role of Supreme Court Justice Sathyadev who advocates for human rights and emphasizes that not all crimes should conclude in encounters.
However, things take a dark turn, prompting Athiyan to take matters into his own hands and even get transferred to Chennai. This sets up the rest of the investigative drama and a conflict of ideologies between encountering criminals and human rights.
