Vaa Vaathiyaar Opens On Pongal With Weak Early Estimates, Mixed Reception

Early signals suggest a shaky start following a court-ordered delay over reported unpaid dues.

Overview

  • The Tamil feature starring Karthi and Krithi Shetty hit theatres on January 14 to coincide with the festival frame.
  • Early box-office tracking pegs day one near Rs 0.01 crore, according to Sacnilk’s provisional estimates.
  • Initial audience posts on X describe a divided response, with some praising performances and others citing predictable moments.
  • The release followed multiple postponements after the Madras High Court stayed the film over reported Rs 21 crore in unpaid producer dues.
  • The movie enters a crowded holiday lineup that includes The Raja Saab, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu and Parasakthi, with some breathing room from the postponement of Vijay’s Jana Nayagan.
