Dhanush’s ‘Raayan’ Crosses ₹80 Crore Mark at Box Office on Day 12 A Successful Launch
The long-anticipated 50th film of Dhanush, Raayan, proved to be a blockbuster by crossing ₹80 crore at the box office within 12 days of its release on July 26. With great expectations, its release was really warm among audiences, solidifying this movie as one of the biggest hits in Tamil Nadu this year. Its simultaneous release in Telugu drew mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike.
A Successful Launch
Raayan/Kaartavaraayan revolves around the life of its title character, played by Dhanush, as he goes through ordeals with his brothers Muthuvelaraayan, played by Sundeep Kishan, Maanikyaraayam, portrayed by Kalidas Jayaram; and his sister Duraga, enacted by Dushara Vijayan.
Things get intensified when Muthu finds himself in an unexpected battle with a local gangster, Dorai, essayed by Sravanan, which translates into severe consequences. Another gangster, Sethuram, enacted by SJ Suryah, plans to kill Raayan, and things get more enthralling with tension and mystery building up one after another.
Box Office Performance
Raayan had a strong opening at the box office, minting about ₹75 crore in its opening weekend. This momentum carried the film to gross over ₹80 crore in no time, an achievement of great magnitude that showcases Dhanush’s pulling power at the box office. In Tamil Nadu, it collected over ₹65 crore; the total for both the Tamil and Telugu versions together was around ₹78 crore.
As the movie is going through a victorious run, it is well on course to becoming the highest-grossing Tamil film in Tamil Nadu for the year so far. One need not err in stating that such an incredible performance at the box office has been possible only because of the receipts of an engaging storyline and stellar performances in time, not to forget Dhanush enacting the dual role of the lead actor cum director.
