On Wednesday, Bollywood trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared GOAT's box office numbers and claimed that the film has managed to "remain steady at lower levels." He wrote, "#GOAT remained steady at lower levels, showing a slight decline on Tuesday compared to Monday... Looking ahead, the absence of a major release this Friday could work in its favour, particularly in mass-market regions."
He added, "[Week 1] Thu 2.80 cr, Fri 1.90 cr, Sat 3.10 cr, Sun 3.41 cr, Mon 1.35 cr, Tue 1.20 cr. Total: ₹ 13.76 cr. Nett BOC. Note: HINDI version. Also includes #Tamil and #Telugu versions in #NorthIndia markets."
GOAT released in theatres on September 5. Directed by Venkat Prabhu, the film is produced by AGS Entertainment. Ahead of its theatrical debut, the director shared a note on X, informing the audience that GOAT is a standalone and there is no need to "watch any other film" to catch up with the story. He wrote, “U guys don't need to watch any movie before coming for #TheGreatestOfAllTime just come and have fun!! It's all yours!!! Let's celebrate our #Thalapathy in theatres!! The #GOAT is here!!! Another three hours to go world!!”
GOAT is one of Vijay's last films before he focuses on his political career.
