Date of Release and Opening Weekend Collection

Beast hits the theatres on April 13, 2022, in the peak Tamil New Year festive season. The fact that he has Vijay with a huge fan following in Tamil Nadu ensured that there was already a full house lined up as a foregone conclusion and the enthusiasm did see an excellent opening of the movie, besides raking in ₹49 crore on the day of opening itself, while around ₹36 crore came in from Tamil Nadu itself. It gave one of the best possible openings for a Tamil film in recent times.

Box Office Performance

Already, it did well even on the first weekend. By the end of its first week, the Beast collected ₹100 crore in India and became a hit within its domestic market.

The movie did well out of India primarily in the Middle East, Malaysia, and Singapore, where Vijay has an enormous fan following. It collected around ₹236 crore through its theatrical run across the world and did that.

 Critical Reception

The box office collection was decent, but the film received mixed reviews from the critics and the audience. Some liked the zing of Vijay and that there was action comedy ingredient in the film; others who felt that the story and screenplay were week and hence word of mouth promotion was not up to the mark. Still, the fan following was heavy with Vijay, and hence, collections were steady for some weeks.

International Reception

Beast was a super great international release, mainly because of the people who speak that language in those countries. In one of the markets like the United States, UAE, and Malaysia, the movie collected so much at the box office. And before the completion of its theatrical run, Beast has collected more than ₹70 crores collections outside the country and also assisted the film to end up successful overseas also.

Conclusion

Beast has not earned appreciation from the critics, however, has managed to do well in the box office because of day one numbers and overall international collections. Again it reminded people why Vijay is one of the most bankable stars in the Tamil cinema hall. It not resembled most of the box office successes of Vijay in the past - Master and so on, but coincidentally this one happens to be one of the highest-grossing Tamil films of 2022.

Well, a great opening and wholesome appeal across the globe do well to justify being commercially successful even with such-so reviews. It proves that star power of Thalapathy Vijay remains strong as ever.
