Ajith Kumar, aka Thala Ajith, is returning to the big screen after a gap of two long years, and his fans are super excited. After Thunivu (2023), the Kollywood superstar is coming with Vidaamuyarchi. The film is expected to register a superb start at the Indian box office. With just two more days to go, the film has picked up the pace tremendously in day 1 advance booking and has already crossed Daaku Maharaaj to register the third-highest pre-sales of opening day in 2025.
Last time, Thala Ajith was seen in Thunivu, which clashed with Thalapathy Vijay’s Varisu during Pongal 2023. There’s no festive season this time, but the biggest advantage is that the film arrives solo and has no big Tamil film in front of it. As a result, it’ll secure a solid show/ screen count in Tamil Nadu. Already, it has secured a show count of well over 5,000 in India.
Coming to the advance booking update as of 12 pm IST, Vidaamuyarchi has sold tickets worth 11.30 crore gross (excluding blocked seats) at the Indian box office for day 1. It includes a sale of 5.95 lakh+ tickets. With this, it surpassed the opening day pre-sales of Daaku Maharaaj worth 9.10 crore gross to record the third-best opening day advance booking in 2025. Very soon, it will cross Sankranthiki Vasthunam to grab the second spot.
Take a look at the top day 1 advance bookings at the Indian box office in 2025:
Game Changer – 31.60 crores
Sankranthiki Vasthunam – 12.40 crores
Vidaamuyarchi – 11.30 crores
Daaku Maharaaj – 9.10 crores
Among states, Tamil Nadu is at the top with day 1 pre-sales worth 10 crore gross. It is followed by Karnataka’s 86 lakh gross. Among cities, Chennai is leading with opening day advances worth 4.25 crore gross.
