Vaa Vaathiyaar Box Office Collection Day 13: Karthi’s latest release, Vaa Vaathiyaar, arrived in theaters on January 14, 2026, hoping to capitalize on the lucrative Pongal festival season. However, the film has failed to live up to expectations, experiencing a dramatic decline in collections after its opening weekend.

- Worldwide Gross: ₹11.25 Crore (approximately)
Vaa Vaathiyaar Box Office Collection Day Wise
The film initially benefited from the Pongal holiday on Day 2 but couldn’t maintain that momentum. Here’s how the collections unfolded:
| Day | Date | India Net Collection |
|---|---|---|
| Day 1 | January 14 (Wednesday) | ₹1.65 Crore |
| Day 2 | January 15 (Thursday) | ₹2.35 Crore |
| Day 3 | January 16 (Friday) | ₹1.55 Crore |

| Day 8 | January 21 (Wednesday) | ₹0.15 Crore |
| Days 9-12 | January 22-25 | ₹0.10-0.15 Crore/day |
| Day 13 | January 26 (Monday) | ₹0.08 Crore |
| Total | 13 Days | ₹8.75 Crore |
What Went Wrong?
Festival Advantage Faded Quickly: Despite crossing ₹5 crore within three days thanks to Pongal festivities, the film couldn’t sustain interest due to lukewarm audience reception.
Intense Competition: Sivakarthikeyan’s Parashakti emerged as the clear winner during the Pongal season, overshadowing Karthi’s film. Additionally, The Raja Saab diverted audience attention.
Word-of-Mouth Impact: Mixed reviews prevented the film from gaining traction beyond its initial release window.
Box Office Verdict
Industry experts have declared Vaa Vaathiyaar a commercial disappointment. Despite Karthi’s established star power in Tamil cinema, the film appears unlikely to recover its production costs. The steep drop from ₹2.35 crore on Day 2 to under ₹0.10 crore by Day 13 highlights the challenging reception the film has faced.
