Directed by Venkat Prabhu, GOAT pulled in an impressive ₹43 crore nett on its first day in India alone, solidifying Vijay’s star power in Tamil cinema.
Unprecedented Box Office Success
The opening day collections from the Tamil version stood at ₹38.3 crore, with ₹1.7 crore from the Hindi release and ₹3 crore from the Telugu market.
