This
Diwali
season
witnessed
a
big
box
office
clash
with
Vijay's
Bigil
and
Karthi's
Kaithi
hitting
theatres
on
the
same
day
(October
25,
2019).
Interestingly,
both
these
films
had
Telugu
versions
as
well,
which
also
made
a
simultaneous
release.
It
should
be
noted
that
Bigil
and
Kaithi
were
the
films
that
ruled
the
theatres
in
AP/TS
regions
during
the
festival
season
with
these
films
drawing
crowds
to
the
theatres
in
large
numbers.
Now,
if
a
report
by
a
popular
YouTube
channel
is
anything
to
go
by,
Karthi
has
scored
a
big
win
over
Vijay
in
AP/TS
regions
with
Kaithi
reaping
more
percentage
of
profit
than
Bigil.
Both
Bigil
and
Kaithi
has
emerged
as
profitable
ventures
at
the
AP/TS
box
office.
However,
the
report
suggests
that
while
Bigil's
profit
percentage
is
around
20
per
cent,
Karthi's
Kaithi
has
scored
a
100
per
cent
profit
in
AP/TS
regions.
The
biggies
have
collected
equally
well
but
the
stakes
surrounding
Bigil
was
higher,
which
might
have
reduced
the
profit
percentage.
With
Kaithi,
Karthi
has
scored
yet
another
major
hit
in
Telugu
regions
where
he
enjoys
a
loyal
fan
base.
It
is
also
a
welcome
hit
for
him
in
AP/TS
after
the
failure
of
Dev,
which
failed
to
make
a
mark.
More
importantly,
Kaithi
is
a
film
devoid
of
any
usual
masala
elements
and
the
fact
that
it
is
drawing
crowds
in
large
numbers
is
something
that
should
be
appreciated.
Moreover,
rumours
are
doing
the
rounds
that
Kaithi
has
already
emerged
as
one
among
the
best
performing
Telugu
dubbed
Tamil
movies
of
all-time.
Considering
the
profit
percentage,
the
movie
has
joined
the
likes
of
Pichaikkaran,
Kanchana
3,
etc.,
which
garnered
huge
profits
in
Telugu
regions.
Meanwhile,
Kaithi
is
doing
good
business
across
all
of
its
release
centres.
The
film,
which
has
completed
two
weeks
of
run
in
Tamil
Nadu
is
expected
to
have
collected
around
Rs
43
crore
from
14
days
from
Tamil
Nadu
alone.
