Hyderabad: Tamil superstar Thalapathy Vijay's latest science fiction action drama, The Greatest of All Time (GOAT), has garnered significant attention since its release on September 5. Despite a strong start, the film is experiencing a decline at the box office as it enters its second week. As per industry tracker Sacnilk, GOAT earned an estimated Rs 6.50 crore on September 16, marking a considerable drop from the previous day's earnings of Rs 15 crore.
