MUMBAI: It was the clash of the titans at the box office in Kollywood. Thalapathy Vijay starrer Varisu and Ajith Kumar’s Thunivu were released together on 11th January 2023. Everyone was keen to know which film would get a bumper opening at the box office. Well, both the movies received a fantastic response on day one, but Varisu has taken a better start. 

Thalapathy Vijay starrer Varisu received mixed reviews from critics and audiences. But, still, on day one the film collected Rs. 26.70 crores at the box office. It is expected that the movie will show a drop in collection after a bumper start, but soon it will be Pongal weekend, so we can expect it to show a jump at the box office.

Ajith Kumar’s Thunivu also took a bumper start and minted Rs. 24.40 crores at the box office on day one. The reviews for Thunivu have been better, but the first-day collection is a bit less than Varisu. However, let’s wait and watch which movie will have a better run at the box office in the coming days. 

Thalapathy Vijay starrer Varisu might also get a bit upper hand in the coming days as the film will also release in Telugu (14th January) and Hindi (13th January). Meanwhile, fans of Thalapathy Vijay and Ajith Kumar are celebrating the release of their favorite stars’ films like a festival.
