Kamal Haasan’s Vikram opens at Rs. 23.5 cr on day 1 in Tamil Nadu

Vikram, the latest film from actor Kamal Haasan, which also stars Vijay Sethupathi, Fahadh Faasil, and Suriya, has performed well at the box office, living up to the pre-release hype. According to trade sources, the film has earned a total of 23.50 crore in Tamil Nadu, making it Kamal Haasan’s best opening in the state.

Vikram is directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and stars Kamal Haasan, who played the same role in the 1986 film of the same name. He reappears as former Black Squad agent Vikram, who used to work for the Indian government.

According to industry watcher Ramesh Bala, Vikram earned Rs. 23.50 crore on the first day in Tamil Nadu. He also stated that the film earned Rs. 5.02 crore on its first day of release in Kerala.

Early reactions to the film on Twitter have been overwhelmingly positive, and it is expected to do extremely well at the box office. The film was also dubbed in Telugu, Hindi, and Malayalam and released in those languages.

Vikram, in which Suriya makes a cameo appearance, sets the stage for a potential franchise. Suriya could be playing the antagonist in Karthi’s Kaithi 2 and the next instalment in the Vikram franchise, based on some key scenes in the film.

“A self-confessed Kamal Haasan fan, Lokesh not only paid a heartfelt tribute to his ‘guru,’ with Vikram – a sequel of sorts to Kamal’s 1986 film of the same name – he teased the beginning of a franchise; one that could keep Kamal active for years to come,” according to the Hindustan Times review of Vikram. Vikram lets Kamal have a good time, and he’s aided by Fahadh Faasil and Vijay Sethupathi, who put in strong performances.”
