While Thalapathy Vijay-led The Greatest Of All Time (GOAT) is doing great in Tamil Nadu, the Hindi dubbed version of the film is doing well at the lower levels as well. After opening at Rs 2.00 crore on Thursday, the film grossed Rs 1.75 crore on Friday, Rs 2.50 crore on Saturday and finally grossed Rs 2.90 crore on Sunday.
Total for this weekend is a four-day weekend Venkat Prabhu The directorial venture has grossed Rs 9.15 crore and based on the rise in collections on Monday, the film could touch the Rs 25 crore mark in the long run. The business has increased over the weekend which is a positive sign as an upward trend always means some kind of interest and appreciation from the cinema-going audience. The film has achieved these numbers without releasing in the top 3 national chains – PVRInox and Cinepolis.
Better release planning and exposure in national chains will boost its prospects. goat By at least 35 per cent. Interestingly, the opening weekend trend of The Goat in Hindi is quite similar to Thalapathy Vijay’s previous film – Leo – as the Lokesh Kanagaraj directorial had grossed Rs 10.00 crore. The first weekend business of both The Goat and Leo shows that Thalapathy Vijay’s fan following in the Hindi belt is huge at the grassroots level, as audiences are coming in without proper promotions, as well as limited theatre release.
While these numbers don’t look huge at first glance, the fact that this business is coming from non-national chains and single screens is an early indication of a well-crafted, well-planned and well-promoted Thalapathy Vijay film that will rock the Hindi market as well. All eyes are now on Monday’s trend, as a good hold is a must to take the film to a good total in the long run.
