Kollywood actor Vijay has delivered a series of sensational blockbusters in recent years, firmly cementing his position as the top star in the Tamil film industry. His streak of hits, starting with Mersal and leading up to the recently released The GOAT, showcases Vijay’s unparalleled consistency at the box office. Despite varying reviews, each of his films has managed to post impressive numbers, proving his dominance.
In contrast, other Kollywood stars have struggled to replicate this success. Rajinikanth, once the undisputed king of Kollywood, has faced mixed results since Kabali. While Petta and Jailer performed well, films like Kaala, 2.0, Darbar, Annatthe, and Lal Salaam did not meet expectations, with his latest, Vettaiyan, posting only half of The GOAT‘s box office figures.
Similarly, Kamal Haasan saw a series of flops until Vikram brought him back to box office success, only for Indian 2 to undo that momentum with its poor performance. Ajith, though a popular star, has not matched Vijay’s box office dominance, lacking a film that crosses the 250 crore mark—a feat Vijay almost achieved with Mersal. Meanwhile, Suriya, who has been struggling, has pinned his hopes on Kanguva, his upcoming release.
With this unmatched consistency, Vijay continues to be the Numero Uno star in Kollywood, a title that seems difficult for anyone to challenge in the near future.
