Whistle
Box
Office
Verdict
Whistle's
theatrical
rights
were
valued
at
Rs
9.75
crore,
which
means
it
has
recovered
around
112
per
cent
of
the
investment
and
emerged
as
a
big
hit.
The
general
feeling
is,
the
film's
exceptional
performance
will
help
'Thalapathy'
consolidate
his
standing
in
the
Telugu
market.
A
Big
Achievement
Whistle,
reportedly,
grossed
Rs
20.5
crore
at
the
AP/TS
box
office
and
became
Vijay's
highest
grosser
in
the
Telugu
states.
Unlike
Mersal/Adirindi
and
Sarkar,
the
film
did
not
have
any
political
punches
or
controversial
dialogues,
which
seems
to
have
worked
in
its
favour.
The
WOM
Was
Healthy
Unlike
some
of
Vijay's
recent
films,
Whistle
clicked
with
fans
and
critics
alike.
Most
cine-goers
felt
it
featured
a
spirited
performance
from
'Anna'
and
made
for
a
good
watch.
As
such,
the
WOM
was
positive
and
this
proved
to
be
a
blessing
for
the
flick.
The
Road
Ahead...
With
Whistle
in
the
past,
Vijay
is
working
on
his
film
with
Lokesh
Kanagaraj,
being
connected
to
as
Thalapathy
64.
The
film
features
the
mass
hero
in
a
new
avatar
and
this
has
piqued
the
curiosity.
There
have
also
been
talks
about
him
joining
hands
with
maverick
filmmaker
S
Shankar
for
a
sequel
to
the
Tamil
biggie
Mudhalvan
(dubbed
in
Telugu
as
Oke
Okkadu).
