Yesterday
(September
10,
2021),
Vijay's
Thalaivii
starring
Kangana
Ranaut
in
the
lead
role
released
in
theatres
and
we're
here
with
its
first
day
box
office
collection.
Thalaivii,
which
is
a
biopic
of
late
actor-turned-politician
J
Jayalalithaa,
performed
well
in
the
South
belt
of
India.
According
to
Box
Office
Bytes,
last
evening,
eighty
percent
of
theaters
in
Tamil
Nadu
were
occupied
with
75%
audience
for
Thalaivii.
According
to
Box
Office
India,
Thalaivii
garnered
an
all-India
collection
of
Rs
1.25
crore.
On
a
related
note,
the
film
couldn't
release
in
Maharashtra
because
the
state
government
has
not
permitted
cinema
halls
to
be
resumed
yet.
Meanwhile,
Thalaivii
received
mixed
response
from
netizens.
While
many
appreciated
Kangana
Ranaut's
nuanced
act
in
the
film,
others
criticised
her
performance
and
tweeted
that
the
film
didn't
live
up
to
their
expectations.
