Beast on Day 5 is having a wonderful run in world wide theatres despite the stiff competition from KGF Chapter 2, which is roaring worldwide. Vijay’s new offering has got mixed reviews, and is able to draw crowd to the theatres. According to reports Beast has surpassed Theri’s total collection in just four days.
While, Beast has been putting up great numbers at the box office. The real challenge for the movie is to see if it can hold the audiences in the theatres during the weekdays.
Beast on Day 5 faces the next big challenge on this weekend
In “Beast,” Vijay plays Veera, an extraordinary former member of India’s Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) intelligence agency. Veera retired from RAW eleven years before the movie’s present day: in an introductory flashback, Veera unintentionally blows up a little girl with a rocket launcher.
Just minutes before the much-awaited hero’s entry, beast begins to start firing on all cylinders, providing the right cues for fans to get ready to welcome their favourite star with deafening rounds of applause, whistles and screams.
Nelson tries to take the ‘Doctor’ route once again retaining the humour-thriller formula, but the mixed genres instead of complementing each other, they annihilate each other’s space. The thrilling story does intrigue you using its smart traps but it just loses momentum on switching between a pacy actioner, a lame love story and a moderate comedy. The extremely convenient love angle doesn’t help the script to create an emotional connect with the leading pair.
The Nelson Dilipkumar directed movie Beast arrived in the theatres on April 13, one day ahead of Tamil New Year. The action entertainer took a monstrous opening at the box office. Now, it is facing stiff competition at the box office from Yash’s KGF: Chapter 2, which is taking the box office by storm.
Trade analyst LM Kaushik informed fans that Beast has surpassed Vijay’s Theri lifetime collection in just four days. He wrote, “#Beast has already crossed the star’s Summer 2016 BB #Theri’s total TN gross & >> Theri total WW gross, after just 4 days. #Thalapathy @actorvijay’s huge audience pull against all odds, huge negativity & irrespective of his film’s content. Will update 5-days numbers tomo (sic).”
Apart from Tamil Nadu, Beast is also performing well in the USA, UK, Australia and New Zealand. The film debuted in Top 1 in the above-mentioned markets.
