Viduthalai 2, the latest action drama starring Vijay Sethupathi and directed by Vetrimaaran, was released on December 20, 2024, to positive reviews and strong opening numbers in Tamil Nadu. However, the film has failed to make a significant impact in markets like Kerala and the Telugu states.
The film had a solid start with a gross of approximately ₹24 crore over its first weekend in Tamil Nadu. Unfortunately, the collections took a sharp nosedive on Monday, witnessing a shocking 60% drop from Sunday’s earnings.
This sharp decline suggests that Viduthalai 2 is unlikely to reach the coveted ₹100 crore milestone, leaving Maharaja as Vijay Sethupathi’s only film to achieve that feat. The film’s political theme and heavy action sequences have not resonated well with family audiences, and it is expected to finish its box office run as an average grosser.
