Sivakarthikeyan's growth has been commendable in the past few years, and Velaikkaran proves to be a benchmark film in his career. The public has welcomed the strong content set by director Mohan Raja, and the film has opened to positive reviews and a very good opening with regards to the box office.
According to Behindwoods' Chennai City Box office analysis, Velaikkaran has collected around Rs 2.71 crore in its first weekend in the city. It is a perfect figure for a film with healthy and active content, and Sivakarthikeyan proves his mettle once again. The film is expected to collect more in the forthcoming weeks as the holiday season is on.
The fact that Sivakarthikeyan's latest social drama Velaikkaran draws inspiration from a Rajinikanth film of the same name is pretty obvious. But it turns out, there is another aspect of similarity between the movies.
The villain of the new Velaikkaran seems to have been inspired by the old - both work in organizations competing with their own, under disguise, secretly hatching conspiracies to dismantle their enemies from within.
This aspect adds layers to their villainy, and makes the battle with the good that much more interesting. Watch Velaikkaran and find out what exactly we are talking about!
