Vijay's
64th
film
Master
is
indeed
ruling
the
box
office.
The
action-entertainer
directed
by
Lokesh
Kanagaraj
opened
to
a
terrific
response
on
the
first
day
of
its
release.
Master,
which
released
on
January
13
ahead
of
Pongal,
acquired
a
total
gross
collection
of
Rs
52
crore
on
day
1.
Well
now,
as
per
trade
analysts,
the
film
has
made
a
total
gross
collection
of
Rs
40
crore
in
Tamil
Nadu
in
2
days.
Looking
at
the
massive
collection
and
strong
hold
of
the
film
at
the
box
office,
looks
like
the
film
will
enter
the
elite
Rs
100
crore
club
in
a
couple
of
days.
On
a
related
note,
Master
revolves
around
an
alcoholic
professor
named
John
Durairaj
(Vijay)
aka
JD.
His
clash
with
Bhavani,
a
gangster
played
by
Vijay
Sethupathi
is
the
crux
of
the
action-entertainer.
Interestingly,
Makkal
Selvan's
awe-inspiring
performance
in
the
film
was
highly
appreciated
by
the
audience
and
critics
alike.
Also,
Vijay's
acting
chops,
whistle
worthy
dialogues
and
dance
numbers
are
some
of
the
highlights
of
the
film.
Apart
from
Vijay
and
Vijay
Sethupathi,
the
film
also
features
Malavika
Mohanan,
Nassar,
Shanthanu
Bhagyaraj,
Sriman,
Andrea
Jeremiah,
Sanjeev,
Srinath,
VJ
Ramya
and
Azhagam
Perumal.
Master
backed
by
Xavier
Britto,
under
XB
Film
Creators
in
association
with
Seven
Screen
Studio,
was
released
simultaneously
in
Tamil,
Telugu,
Kannada
and
Hindi.
Notably,
though
the
film
was
earlier
scheduled
to
hit
the
screens
on
April
9,
2020,
the
makers
were
forced
to
postpone
the
release
owing
to
the
COVID-19
pandemic
and
the
subsequent
lockdown.
