Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu box office: Silambarasan's film grosses around ₹20 crores from Tamil Nadu in two days

Gautham Menon's Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu, starring Silambarasan in the lead, was released in theatres on September 15. The film, which carried good buzz among moviegoers across Tamil Nadu, began its first show as early as at 5 am in the morning in around 200 screens in the state.  

The movie opened to better response than the last two feature films of the filmmaker, including Acham Enbathu Madamaiyada, which brought both himself and Silambarasan aka STR for the second time after their iconic collaboration in Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa. A few aspects like performance of STR, background score by AR Rahman and action choreography by Lee Whittaker and Yannick Ben have been garnering positive response from film lovers and critics.

Ishari K Ganesh has bankrolled the project under the banner Vels Film International. A source close to makers has revealed that the film has collected more than ₹10 crores from Tamil Nadu on day one. The second day gross collection of the movie from across the state is ₹8 crores.

Overall, Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu has grossed ₹19.37 crores from the box office. They are yet to come up with the world wide collection of the movie for the first two days.

Meanwhile, the Telugu version of the film, titled Life of Muthu, is facing some trouble over its release. Many movie buffs from Telugu states have been taking to Twitter to express disappointment over the cancellation of shows this morning.

The dubbed version was supposed to hit the screens today in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, and makers had confirmed that shows will start after 2 pm. However, it looks like the uncertainty over release still exists. The movie has been made in two installments. The makers are yet to reveal their plans on the release of its second part.
