Vivegam Box Office Collection Day 1: Ajith's 'Mass Entertainer' Film Gets 'Good Opening'

New Delhi: Thala Ajith's much-awaited film Vivegam arrived in the theaters on Thursday. Vivegam has set an 'all-time box office record' in Chennai and earned Rs 1.21 crore on Day 1, reported trade analyst Ramesh Bala. Even in Bengaluru, the Tamil superstar's film got a good opening. Mr Bala, who described Vivegam as a 'mass entertainer,' tweeted that Ajith's film opened at number four in Hyderabad but is now at the second position in the current top movies section. "Thala proves again he is the king of opening," he wrote. Ajith, 46, plays a special agent of the Counter Terrorism Squad in the film. Kajal Aggarwal stars as his wife and Akshara Haasan as their daughter. Vivek Oberoi makes his Tamil debut with Vivegam and stars as the prime antagonist.

Here's the box office verdict of Thala Ajith's Vivegam. (This is an early estimate, final numbers may be high, Ramesh Bala tweeted).
