Ajith Kumar is lastly returning to the large display after two-and-a-half years, with Valimai, and it looks like the actor is getting ready to set the field workplace on hearth. The actor will likely be seen taking part in the position of a police officer within the H Vinoth directorial. The movie additionally stars Huma Qureshi, Kartikeya Gummakonda and Bani J in supporting roles. The movie is produced by Boney Kapoor and is being launched in a number of languages, together with Tamil, Hindi, Telugu and Kannada. With advance bookings already open and houseful indicators hanging up, Valimai is headed for a formidable opening day assortment.
Trade analyst Ramesh Bala, talking with News18, thinks Valimai might open with a large Rs 30 crore field workplace assortment in Tamil Nadu alone. “In Tamil Nadu, it ought to do round Rs 30 crore gross as a result of it’s a solo launch. The movie is releasing in over 800 screens, with reveals beginning at 4am within the morning. This provides the film two extra reveals – 4am and 7am,” he mentioned.
While Tamil Nadu will contribute the most to the opening day box office collection, Ramesh predicts that Valimai will have only one day advantage in Andhra Pradesh-Telangana due to Pawan Kalyan’s Bheemla Nayak. The Telugu movie releases a day after Valimai. “In Andhra and Telangana, the film is set to release in 750 theatres. However, a day after Valimai’s release, Pawan Kalyan’s Bheemla Nayak will be released. Valimai has only a one-day solo release advantage. On 25th, it has to face tough competition from Bheemla Nayak. It is a little difficult to predict in Andhra and Telangana because Ajith hasn’t had a simultaneous release in a long time. Even conservatively, Valimai can gross Rs 2 crores roughly,” he mentioned.
Meanwhile, in Karnataka, the movie is about to launch in all 4 languages in a complete of 150 theatres and is prone to acquire about Rs 1 to 2 crores. An identical field workplace assortment is anticipated from Kerala as nicely. “Obviously, we’ll must see the phrase of mouth, critiques and content material after the primary present, however a great quantity of advance reserving will likely be achieved by Wednesday night time. If phrase of mouth is nice, the critiques are good, it’ll propel the film to higher heights on the field workplace,” Ramesh added.
Meanwhile, Valimai’s Hindi version is also witnessing competition from Alia Bhatt’s Gangubai Kathiawadi in Hindi. Much like the Telugu version, Valimai’s Hindi version will have a one-day advantage in Hindi. However, trade analyst Atul Mohan feels the Ajith starrer might not have an upper hand in the Hindi circuit. While Allu Arjun’s Pushpa Hindi version had given Ranveer Singh’s ’83 a tough competition at the box office in December, Valimai might not have that kind of hold in Hindi.
“Ajith isn’t as big a crowd puller as Allu Arjun in North India yet. Of course, Gangubai Kathiawadi will face good competition in the South because, for states like Tamil Nadu, Valimai would be the first choice for exhibitors since Ajith is a big draw over there. Gangubai Kathiawadi may face competition in the South but for North India, the field is open for Gangubai,” he mentioned.
