Thalapathy Vijay’s latest action drama, “The GOAT,” is making waves at the box office with a spectacular performance in Tamil Nadu and international markets. Directed by Venkat Prabhu, the film showcases Vijay in dual roles as a father and son, adding a compelling dynamic to the story. Within just four days of its release, “The GOAT” has grossed approximately Rs. 280 crores globally, a testament to its strong appeal and high entertainment value. The film’s success in Tamil Nadu is particularly noteworthy, with expectations that today’s figures will exceed “Indian 2″‘s opening day numbers of Rs. 12 crores. Moreover, “The GOAT” is poised to surpass the Rs. 300 crores mark, highlighting its massive box office draw.
However, despite its impressive numbers in Tamil Nadu, “The GOAT” is facing challenges in the Telugu and Hindi markets. The film’s performance in these regions has been notably disappointing. Director Venkat Prabhu recently discussed this issue in a Twitter space, offering an intriguing insight into the film’s reception. He suggested that the scenes featuring the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) cricket team might not have resonated well with Telugu and Hindi audiences. According to Prabhu, the prominent CSK references, which are a nod to the popular cricket team and its fans, may have contributed to the film’s underperformance in the Telugu states and the Hindi belt.
This comment has sparked mixed reactions among netizens, with some agreeing that the cricket elements could have alienated non-Tamil-speaking viewers, while others believe the film’s overall appeal should not be diminished by this factor. “The GOAT,” produced by AGS Entertainment, is a high-budget film that also features Meenakshi Chaudhary, Sneha Prabhudeva, Jayaram, Prashanth, and Mohan in significant roles. The music, composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja, has received positive feedback, adding to the film’s overall appeal. Notably, Trisha Krishnan makes a special cameo, further enhancing the film’s star-studded lineup. Despite the mixed regional reception, *The GOAT* remains a major hit, demonstrating Thalapathy Vijay’s continued box office power and the film’s strong international performance.
