GOAT box office collection Day 3: Vijay film witness a slight surge; breaches Rs 100 crore mark domestically

Impressively, on day 3, the Hindi version of the film, titled Thalapathy is the GOAT, did considerably better. In fact, Saturday’s collections surpassed the opening day numbers. The Telugu version is holding strong too, and as expected, the Tamil numbers are back on track too. One of the major factors for the drop in numbers is definitely the reception in the primary centres in Kerala, which has died down after the initial surge. This has come as a shocker considering how Kerala has been an important market for Vijay’s films with his previous release, Leo, breaking new records in the state. Nevertheless, with Tamil Nadu still holding really strong, and no other films releasing for the next couple of weeks, GOAT will have a smooth run, and might become one of the biggest successes of Vijay. It is expected that the film would become the second biggest grosser in his career after Leo, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj.

GOAT, which also stars Prashanth, Sneha, Laila, Mohan, Ajmal, Prabhudeva, and Yogi Babu, has received mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike, but seems to have found a lot of love among the ardent fans of Vijay. The film, with music by Yuvan Shankar Raja and cinematography by Siddhartha Nuni, is expected to be the penultimate film in Vijay’s career before he bids adieu to cinema to concentrate on his political career.
