Collections in Tamil Nadu for Thalaivan Thalaivii are at Rs 56.25 crore after the 3rd Friday and the lifetime number shall be Rs 62 crore or so. The film had a Telugu dub version Sir Madam which released last week, but that didn’t fare well.

Vijay Sethupathi Is Back With A Bang

Vijay Sethupathi has made a solid comeback with Thalaivan Thalaivii. His last movie, Ace, didn't resonate with theatre going audiences and ended up with dismal business. It was received well digitally but a star of Sethupathi's caliber, thrives on love from theatre going audiences.

More than anything, this Nithya Menen co-starrer has brought the actor his goodwill back among the family audiences of Tamil Nadu. He has a bunch of exciting movies coming up, like Train and a movie with Puri Jagannadh.
