Vettaiyan Box Office Collection Day 3: Rajinikanth, Amitabh Bachchan Film Nears ₹100 Cr On Dussehra

Vettaiyan Box Office: The Rajinikanth starrer opened to a fan frenzy on October 10, two days before Dussehra. Though the film opened to a staggering collection, it witnessed a decline at the box office ever since. On the subsequent days, Vettaiyan witnessed a dip in business, but continued to rake in better numbers than other films on the big screens.

Vettaiyan nears ₹100 crore at the box office in India

The Rajinikanth starrer opened to ₹31.7 crore in India. The film is released in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi and Kannada but has raked in maximum numbers from Tamil-speaking areas. On the second day of release, Vettaiyan minted ₹24 crore. On day 3, which also marked the Dussehra holiday, the movie minted ₹26 crore, as per estimates by Sacnilk.

This has taken the film's total business to ₹81.70 crore, as per Sacnilk. In the coming week, given that there is no other significant release, the Rajinikanth starrer is expected to breach ₹100 crore mark at the box office.
