## Vettaiyan Box Office Collection Day 11: Rajinikanth-Amitabh Bachchan Starrer Continues Strong Run
The cinematic force of ‘Vettaiyan’, the action thriller featuring megastars Rajinikanth and Amitabh Bachchan, shows no signs of slowing down at the box office. Following a strong opening weekend, the film has continued to captivate audiences, racking up impressive box office numbers.
On its eleventh day of release, ‘Vettaiyan’ saw an impressive earning of ₹5 crore, a significant increase compared to its earnings on both Day 9 and Day 10. This translates to an increase of at least 10 percent compared to the previous day’s earnings, as reported by industry tracker Sacnilk.
While the film has already crossed the ₹129 crore mark within its first ten days, it is still a considerable distance from hitting the ₹300 crore milestone. However, the film’s immense popularity with fans, evident since its release on October 10, just ahead of the Dussehra weekend, suggests that ‘Vettaiyan’ has the potential to reach this target.
The film’s continued success can be attributed to several factors. One crucial element is the increasing occupancy for the Tamil version of the movie in major cities like Chennai and Bengaluru. Chennai witnessed an occupancy rate of 38.75 percent across all shows, while Bengaluru’s occupancy stood at a strong 20.75 percent. The Hindi version of the movie is also enjoying considerable success with high occupancies reported in cities like Jaipur and Lucknow, reaching 23.67 percent and 21 percent respectively.
The captivating plot, revolving around a woman’s rape and murder, is a major draw for audiences. ‘Vettaiyan’ also presents the rare opportunity to witness cinematic legends Rajinikanth and Amitabh Bachchan share the screen once again. The two icons, last seen together in the 1991 action-drama ‘Hum’, bring a unique dynamism to the film. The film’s first 30 minutes showcases Rajinikanth’s powerful presence as the protagonist. As the plot unfolds, ‘Vettaiyan’ transforms into a fast-paced investigative thriller that keeps audiences on the edge of their seats.
Rajinikanth’s portrayal of a cop battling for extrajudicial killings is particularly impactful, as he famously proclaims, “It’s not wrong for the police to take the law into their own hands when injustice occurs, rather than remaining silent.” In contrast, Amitabh Bachchan, playing the character Sathyadev, offers a nuanced perspective on the complexities of justice, stating, “Justice delayed is justice denied; justice hurried is justice buried,” indicating his opposition to encounter killings. This interplay between the two iconic characters adds depth and complexity to the film’s central theme of justice.
With its compelling plot, stellar performances, and box office success, ‘Vettaiyan’ continues to make its mark on the cinematic landscape. The film’s continued momentum suggests a successful run at the box office and solidifies its position as one of the most anticipated and engaging films of the year.
