Jana Nayagan has finally arrived, and the day 1 numbers confirm that no delay or online leak could impact the anticipation for Thalapathy Vijay’s swansong. The Tamil political thriller has opened to solid numbers on the Indian box office, and it has done so purely on the strength of Vijay’s superstardom and the emotional sentiment of the film being his last theatrical release. With a rating of 40 crore+, it has registered the sixth biggest opening among the many top A-rated Indian openers of all time.
The magnum opus scored 42.7 crore net on the Indian box office on its opening day. Given every little thing the film needed to undergo during its pre-release stage: an indefinite postponement, censorship complications, and a leak online before its official release, it is a improbable number that reflects the strong and dependable fan base of Vijay.
