Records and Cast

Directed by Nelson Dilipkumar and produced by Kalanithi Maran through Sun Pictures, the film released on October 15. It has beaten all Tamil films released this year and surpassed Rajinikanth's own film 2.0 to become the highest-grossing Tamil film of all time. It is also the second-highest-grossing Indian film of the year, standing behind Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar: The Revenge. The film stars Rajinikanth, Ramya Krishnan, Yogi Babu, Mirnaa, and Rithvik, with new additions like SJ Suryah, Mithun Chakraborty, Suraj Venjaramoodu, and Vidya Balan.

Context

Major Indian festival releases often see massive early earnings followed by a gradual slowdown on weekdays after the holiday rush ends. Tamil cinema has a strong history of high-grossing action dramas featuring veteran superstars like Rajinikanth driving massive box office numbers. Films of this scale typically rely on cameo appearances and strong festive openings to build long-term theatrical momentum.
