It
is
an
open
secret
that
Vijay
is
one
of
the
most
popular
and
talented
stars
in
the
Tamil
film
industry
today.
The
much-loved
actor
enjoys
an
enviable
fan
following
courtesy
his
dashing
personality
and
humble
nature.
At
present,
he
is
in
the
spotlight
because
of
his
latest
release
Sarkar.
The
Murugadoss
directorial
hit
the
screens
on
November
6,
2018
and
it
took
a
fantastic
opening
at
the
box
office.
In
doing
so,
it
beat
Kaala
and
reigned
supreme.
Now,
a
week
later,
Sarkar
is
still
going
strong
at
the
box
office.
However,
it
seems
to
have
slowed
down.
According
to
the
latest
trade
estimates,
Sarkar
collected
between
Rs
5
Crore
to
7
Crore
at
the
the
Tamil
Nadu
box
office
on
Monday(November
12,
2018)
and
continued
its
run.
The
general
feeling
is
that
this
is
a
decent
figure
even
though
it
is
lower
than
what
Sarkar
had
collected
on
Sunday(November
11,
2018).
Not
Upto
The
Mark
Sarkar
had
generated
an
extraordinary
amount
of
pre-release
buzz
and
taken
an
epic
opening
at
the
ticket
window.
Given
the
fantastic
start,
most
trade
experts
had
stated
that
it
would
have
a
phenomenal
Week
1.
However,
this
has
not
happened.
The
film's
weekend
and
Day
7
collections
are
pretty
ordinary
when
compared
to
the
pre-release
expectations.
Needless
to
say,
this
is
not
a
good
sign.
The
WOM
Could
Have
Been
Better
The
general
feeling
is
that
Sarkar
is
a
decent
film
and
it
does
justice
to
Vijay's
‘mass
hero' image.
However,
according
to
a
few
critics,
the
film
is
not
as
good
as
Kaththi
and
Thuppakki.
As
such,
the
WOM
is
average.
The
numerous
controversies
too
have
dented
the
public's
opinion
about
the
film.
To
make
matters
worse,
the
political
references
in
the
film
too
have
not
been
appreaciated
by
everyone.
The
Way
Ahead
Sarkar
is
a
highly
ambitious
film
and
it
needs
to
collect
nearly
Rs
150
Crore
in
Tamil
Naduu
in
order
to
be
a
success
in
the
state.
The
film
needs
to
pick
up
big
time
again
in
order
to
live
up
to
the
expectations.
However,
this
might
not
be
a
piece
of
cake
as
two
major
Tamil
films
are
slated
to
release
this
week.
