Vettaiyan, starring Rajinikanth and Amitabh Bachchan, opens to mixed reviews but earns less than expected on Day 1.

The highly anticipated film made headlines, but its Day 1 collection fell short compared to 'Jailer' and 'GOAT.'

Despite the star power of Rajinikanth and Amitabh Bachchan, the film's box office performance on opening day was underwhelming.

Day 1 collection: Vettaiyan earned ₹X crore, a stark contrast to the grand success of 'Jailer,' which raked in ₹Y crore.

'GOAT,' another big release, also performed better, leaving fans curious about Vettaiyan’s future at the box office.

The film’s release saw high expectations, but the initial numbers don’t match the hype around its star-studded cast.

Critics and audiences are debating if Vettaiyan can recover in the coming days or if the box office numbers will dip further.
