Karthi's Vaa Vaathiyaar Fails at Box Office
Karthi's new movie, Vaa Vaathiyaar, didn't do well at the box office.
It was supposed to come out in December but got delayed because of money and legal problems.
It also had to compete with other big movies.
Even though it came out during the Pongal holidays, it didn't attract many people and left theaters quickly.
It made only about Rs 11 crore worldwide, which is the least Karthi has ever made from a movie.
His other movies like Dev and Japan also didn't do very well, but this one is the worst so far.
Experts are trying to figure out what went wrong.
Karthi's Vaa Vaathiyaar underperforms at box office with Rs 11 crore worldwide.
Film delayed multiple times due to financial and legal issues.
Released during Pongal season but failed to attract holiday crowds.
Exited theaters within two weeks of release.
Now considered Karthi's lowest-earning film, surpassing Dev (2019) and Japan (2023).
