Re-releases have become a strong trend in Tamil cinema, with fans turning up in large numbers to celebrate their favorite stars on the big screen once again. The latest films to join this wave are Thunivu and Ghilli, and on Day 1, Ghilli clearly raced ahead, taking a solid lead at the box office.
Thunivu Day 1 Collection
Thunivu, starring Ajith Kumar, collected ₹25 lakh gross in Tamil Nadu on its Day 1. Considering the film originally released three years ago, this is a noteworthy number. Re-releases usually depend heavily on fan celebrations and limited show counts.
The film originally had a strong run during its first release, and even in its re-release, it showed that Ajith’s fan base remains solid. Since the film is still fresh in viewers’ memories and widely available on digital platforms, drawing audiences back to theatres is not an easy task.
Ghilli Day 1 Collection
Ghilli, starring Vijay, delivered a stronger Day 1 performance with ₹55 lakh gross in Tamil Nadu. What makes this achievement even more remarkable is that this is the film’s second re-release. Despite being over 20 years old, Ghilli continues to generate phenomenal interest.
Ghilli has always enjoyed cult status among Tamil audiences. Its songs, action sequences, and mass moments continue to resonate strongly with fans. The second re-release has once again proven that the film remains a celebration in theatres, with packed shows and energetic fan responses in many centers.
As the weekend progresses, collections are expected to grow. Stay tuned for the next update.
