Vijay's 'Beast' opening day collection remains unbeaten in Tamil Nadu
Megastar Rajinikanth's Jailer has been released in theaters and it has been doing wonders in terms of box office collection. After a bumper opening on Thursday, the movie is slated to earn big owing to the positive buzz. However, Thalapathy Vijay's Beast still holds the record for the highest opening day collection in Tamil Nadu. Fans are loving this head-to-head competition.
'Jailer' is currently on beast mode though
Jailer raked in Rs. 23 crore in Tamil Nadu on Thursday whereas Beast opened to Rs. 36 crore in the same state back in 2022. Interestingly, both films are directed by Nelson Dilipkumar. The Vijay-headlined movie was an actual beast at the box office as it went on to earn around Rs. 210-250 crore worldwide. Let's see if Jailer can beat the record.
