- Critical Reception and Weekend Performance
Although GOAT received a mixed response from critics and audiences initially, it has managed to overcome the critique and emerge as the highest-grossing Tamil film of 2024. The film saw an impressive Day 3 collection of Rs 33.5 crore, marking a significant 31% increase from Day 2. The strong performance continued into the weekend, maintaining almost similar numbers on the first Sunday.
- Regional Collections and Future Outlook
Despite Tamil Nadu being a solid base for Vijay’s films, the decline in collections from Kerala has affected the film's overall domestic earnings. The Telugu and Hindi versions reported occupancy rates of 21.66% and 24.55%, respectively. The upcoming Monday will be crucial in determining how the film's collections will trend in the subsequent week.
With a clear release window until September 20, GOAT will have a relatively free run at the box office, with only The Buckingham Murders and Yudhra scheduled as major Hindi releases in the next few weeks.
- Vijay’s Career Milestone
GOAT is particularly significant as it may be one of Vijay’s final films before he shifts his focus entirely to his political career. Featuring an ensemble cast and backed by the music of Yuvan Shankar Raja and cinematography by Siddhartha Nuni, the film is set to be one of the biggest successes in Vijay’s career. Can GOAT outdo the commercial success of Thalapathy's previous hit Leo? Time will tell.
