Vijay Sethupathi’s recent Tamil film, Baththa, had a quiet release in theaters. In this crowded Gandhi Jayanti weekend, the Tamil film was dropped in theaters with limited buzz. However, the film’s content did the talking on opening day, with netizens flooding social media with positive reactions. However, despite the positive reviews, the film has registered a low opening.

How Much Did Baththa Earn At The Box Office On Day 1?

The Vijay Sethupathi-starrer registered a low opening on Thursday. It is not surprising, since the film did not have much pre-release buzz. The action-comedy-drama earned 1.5 crore in India, with the majority of the collection from its home state of Tamil Nadu. On X, the film received favorable reviews from critics and even the audience. The film is likely to pick up pace over the long weekend.
