March 29, 2025: After much anticipation, Veera Dheera Sooran, starring the versatile Chiyaan Vikram and directed by S. U. Arun Kumar, has finally stormed into theaters on March 27. Despite facing numerous obstacles leading up to its release, including a prolonged legal dispute that stalled its debut, the film has overcome these setbacks and debuted with overwhelming fan and critical praise. The production’s optimism, paired with Vikram’s star power, has resulted in impressive box office numbers, even in the face of stiff competition.
The movie’s journey to the big screen was far from smooth. Legal issues forced a delay, sparking an online frenzy about its future. However, after the dispute was resolved, the film premiered in theaters during evening shows. Despite missing some opening-day screenings, Veera Dheera Sooran quickly regained momentum, with its box office earnings crossing ₹6.9 crore by the end of Day 2. Notably, the film earned an estimated ₹7 crore in Tamil Nadu alone within the first two days.
The film’s initial success at the box office, which now stands at around ₹13 crore, proves that the delay had little impact on its reception. The positive buzz, coupled with strong word-of-mouth reviews, positions the film to perform well in the days to come.
A Box Office Battle: Chiyaan Vikram Veera Dheera Sooran vs. Mohanlal’s L2: Empuraan
Although Veera Dheera Sooran has made a solid entry, it finds itself competing with Mohanlal’s L2: Empuraan from Mollywood, which has been making waves in the market. Despite the competition, Veera Dheera Sooran has carved its niche, especially in the Tamil-speaking market, where it has dominated collections with ₹3.29 crore on Day 1.
The film’s positive reception and growing popularity are reflected in the social media buzz, with many celebrating the movie’s success. Director S. U. Arun Kumar, along with Vikram, has been lauded for delivering an action-packed performance that keeps audiences hooked.
The film was initially slated for release nearly two months ago, but its delay was tied to complications surrounding the OTT rights. Producer Shibu Thameens expressed regret for the delay, explaining that it was not due to financial difficulties but rather due to the finalization of the OTT rights sale. Despite the hiccup, Thameens, along with the rest of the team, was quick to appreciate the audience’s positive response once the movie hit theaters. The celebratory images of the producer and distributor, now circulating on social media, reflect the satisfaction and relief of everyone involved.
With the film now in full swing, the extended Ramzan weekend provides a prime opportunity for Veera Dheera Sooran to maintain its momentum. The movie’s early success suggests that it will continue to do well at the box office, with strong attendance expected through the weekend and beyond.
Box Office Numbers (Day 1 & Day 2)
- Day 1 Collection: ₹3.4 crore (Tamil: ₹3.29 crore, Telugu: ₹23 lakh)
- Day 2 Collection: ₹3.52 crore (Tamil: ₹3.29 crore, Telugu: ₹23 lakh)
- Total 2-Day Collection: ₹6.9 crore
Given the favorable word of mouth, strong star performances, and an exciting storyline, Veera Dheera Sooran seems poised to continue its success. With an enthusiastic fan base and a promising trajectory at the box office, this action-packed spectacle is one to watch in the coming weeks.
