Vaa Vaathiyaar Underperforms at Box Office
Vaa Vaathiyaar is a new Tamil movie directed by Nalan Kumarasamy.
It stars Karthi and Krithi Shetty.
The movie had a slow start at the box office, making only Rs 1.65 crores on its first day and Rs 0.33 crores on the second day.
The movie is about a passionate MGR devotee who raises his grandson as the superstar’s reincarnation, but the grandson grows up with different values.
People who watched it liked Karthi's performance and the mix of action, comedy, and important messages about society.
The movie also has a great background score and a strong supporting cast.
The movie had a lot of hype before it came out, but it didn't do as well as expected.
It might be because other big movies like Prabhas' The Raja Saab and Chiranjeevi's Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu were also released around the same time.
It's a good movie to watch during the Pongal holidays.
Vaa Vaathiyaar, directed by Nalan Kumarasamy, stars Karthi and Krithi Shetty.
