Rajinikanth's
Annaatthe
was
one
of
the
highly
awaited
biggies
of
2021.
Though
the
film
was
expected
to
hit
the
cinemas
in
2020,
the
makers
deferred
the
release
owing
to
the
pandemic
condition.
After
much
deliberation,
the
film
finally
made
it
to
the
theatres
on
November
2
coinciding
with
the
Diwali
festival.
The
film
garnered
a
great
deal
of
attention
in
the
first
week
and
it
indeed
reflected
in
its
box
office
collection.
Having
said
that,
the
reviews
received
by
the
film
were
quite
average.
The
selling
point
of
the
film
was
definitely
its
star-studded
cast,
but
the
storyline
and
execution
by
director
Siva
were
a
big
led
down.
The
heavy
rainfall
in
Tamil
Nadu
is
said
to
have
hindered
the
inflow
of
audiences
post
the
tenth
day
of
Annaatthe's
release
which
might
have
also
impacted
its
business.
Talking
about
the
Rajinikanth-starrer's
closing
collection,
the
film's
Tamil
Nadu
theatrical
share
is
said
to
be
Rs
45
crore
(Rs
80
crore
gross).
Made
on
a
budget
of
Rs
182.5
crore,
Annaatthe's
total
revenue
is
Rs
169
crore,
while
the
loss
incurred
is
Rs
14.5
crore.
As
per
the
latest
data,
the
film
has
failed
to
enter
the
profit
zone,
despite
an
impressive
collection
in
the
first
week.
