Ajith Kumar‘s previous release Thunivu, directed by Vinoth Kumar, had opened at Rs 28.6 crore. Similarly, his 2022 film Valimai opened at Rs 31.70 crore. Thunivu made on a budget of Rs 200 crore, earned about Rs 250 crore worldwide. Meanwhile, Valimai, made at a budget of Rs 150 crore, earned about Rs 234 crore.

Coming back to Vidaamuyarchi, the film, reportedly made on a budget of Rs 200 crore and also starring Arjun Sarja, Trisha Krishnan, Regina Cassandra, and Arav in pivotal roles, opened on February 6 to mixed reviews. SCREEN’s Avinash Ramachandran wrote in his review, “Vidaamuyarchi, existing in this form, is a fascinating addition to the evolving standards of superstar films in Tamil cinema. It shows that difference has to come from top down, and when superstars like Ajith decide to play roles rather than images, and surrenders to the vision of directors like Magizh who have a distinct voice of their own, the result is there for everyone to see. Of course, Vidaamuyarchi is no Mankatha or Viswasam, but that’s the point. It doesn’t have to be. It doesn’t have to be at all.”
