Thalapathy Vijay’s latest action-packed film GOAT has crossed a significant milestone at the box office, grossing over ₹300 crore worldwide within just six days of its release. Directed by Venkat Prabhu and produced by AGS Entertainment, the movie is being hailed as one of the top-grossing Telugu films of the year, earning Vijay his second ₹300-crore film and placing him alongside superstar Rajinikanth, who also holds the record for two films surpassing this prestigious mark.

Day-wise Breakdown of Collections

GOAT, which stands for “Greatest of All Time,” was released on September 5 and opened to a massive ₹44 crore in domestic collections on its first day. Despite the initial success, the excitement surrounding the film began to fade by the second day, with the film seeing a sharp decline in earnings. On its first Friday, the movie brought in ₹25.5 crore, a significant drop of over 42%.

However, the weekend proved to be a saving grace for the film, as GOAT witnessed a rebound on Saturday. The film’s collections surged by more than 30%, raking in ₹33.5 crore. On Sunday, the momentum continued, and GOAT held strong at the box office, earning ₹34 crore, keeping its hold on audiences and signaling strong word-of-mouth support.

Post-Weekend Decline

As is common with most blockbusters, GOAT saw a sharp drop in collections on the first Monday. The film earned ₹14.75 crore on Monday, marking a decline of over 56%. This trend continued into Tuesday, where the film saw another dip in revenue, collecting ₹10.50 crore—a drop of nearly 29% from Monday’s earnings.

Despite these fluctuations, GOAT has managed to stay afloat at the box office, with its total India net collection now standing at ₹162.25 crore. The film’s gross collection in India has reached ₹178 crore, while its overseas earnings have added another ₹125 crore to its total. This brings GOAT’s worldwide gross box office collection to an impressive ₹303 crore in just six days.

Vijay Matches Rajinikanth’s Record

With GOAT crossing the ₹300-crore mark, Thalapathy Vijay has now matched the legendary Rajinikanth’s record of having two Telugu films in the ₹300-crore club. Vijay’s previous blockbuster, Varisu (2023), also saw massive box office success, grossing ₹297.50 crore worldwide. However, GOAT has managed to surpass Varisu, making it the highest-grossing film of Vijay’s career to date.

Although GOAT has achieved incredible success, it still has a long way to go before catching up to the record-breaking collections of Leo, another highly successful film, which grossed ₹606 crore worldwide. Nevertheless, GOAT has now joined an elite group of Telugu films that have crossed the ₹300-crore mark at the global box office.

Cast and Crew of GOAT

GOAT stars Thalapathy Vijay in the lead role, with an ensemble cast that includes Prabhu Deva, Vijay Chandrasekhar, Prashanth, Ajmal Ameer, Sneha, Yogi Babu, and Meenakshii Chaudhary. Directed by Venkat Prabhu, the film is produced by AGS Entertainment and features a gripping storyline packed with action sequences, resonating with audiences both in India and abroad.

Audience Reception and Future Outlook

Despite the fluctuations in daily earnings, GOAT continues to trend on social media platforms and search engines, with search queries for the film spiking on Google. The film’s combination of star power, high-octane action, and engaging plot has helped it maintain a steady presence at the box office, even in the face of mid-week dips.

With the second weekend approaching, GOAT is expected to see another uptick in its collections, potentially pushing the movie further into the list of top-grossing films of the year. As GOAT continues its successful run, Vijay’s box-office dominance remains undisputed.

Conclusion

GOAT has proven to be a massive box-office success for Thalapathy Vijay, cementing his place alongside industry legends like Rajinikanth. As the film continues to perform well domestically and internationally, fans are eager to see how much higher the film’s box-office totals will climb in the coming days.
