Thalapathy Vijay has roared on the box office before he arrived together with his final film, Jana Nayagan! His 2005 film, Sachein is currently running in theaters and earning good numbers on the box office with its re-release! Nevertheless, the film despite having decent ticket pre-sales on BMS, didn’t bring the expected numbers!

Surpasses Every Single Re-Release

Interestingly, Thalapathy Vijay’s film was imagined to surpass the lifetime collection of each single Tamil re-release on the box office, aside from his own Ghilli! Ghilli’s re-release was historic on the box office, earning 32.50 crore worldwide throughout the re-run.

Sachein Re-Release Box Office Collection

Sachein was imagined to earn an overhyped estimate of 10 crore on the box office on its opening day, which was almost 25% greater than Ajith’s Good Bad Ugly, which earned only within the 8 crore range! Nevertheless, failing to fulfill the expectations, the film managed to open at 1.76 crore in Tamil Nadu and an extra 14.6 lakh in Karnataka.

Sachein Ticket Sales On BMS

The film has been selling tickets like hotcakes on BMS. In actual fact, it’s now the twelfth re-release to cross 150K ticket sales on BMS. Hopefully, the film might eventually cross Ghilli to bring the largest re-release for a Tamil film.

Try the ticket sales of the film before and after the discharge day on BMS.

  • Pre Sales: 72.62K
  • April 18: 49.78K
  • April 19: 31.8K* (till 11 pm)

Total: 154.2K*

It might be interesting to see if the film manages to enter the highest 10 highest-grossing South Indian re-releases on the box office.
