Beast box office collection day 1: Vijay starrer takes off with Rs 38 crore opening

Earlier, trade pundits had predicted that the movie will earn Rs 40 crore in Tamil Nadu on its opening day. And that prediction has turned out to be nearly true.

Sun Pictures, which has bankrolled Beast, has not shared the official box office figures yet. On Thursday, Sun Pictures tweeted a new poster of the movie, claiming it is a ‘blockbuster’. “#VeeraRaghavan’s box office revolt Blockbuster celebration in all centers (sic),” the production house tweeted.

The movie is also putting a strong show at the box office in Karnataka, Kerala, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.

Beast is likely to face strong competition at the box office across south India from KGF: Chapter 2. The sequel to the 2018 blockbuster opened to packed houses across India on Thursday.
