The film has also earned nearly Rs. 90 crores in international markets, making it one of the most successful Tamil films abroad.

And the scene gave a resemblance to the Ghilli famous scene where they both delivered a top-notch performance.

Fans of the family drama still flock to theatres for a fifth straight weekend, ensuring the film's standing as Vijay's highest-grossing effort.

The film’s Telugu version also clashed against biggies Nandamuri Balakrishna’s Veera Simha Reddy and Chiranjeevi’s Waltair Veerayya.

Both movies are smashing it at the box office, thanks in large part to the massive extended weekend that began five days after their respective releases.

When fans were already disappointed to learn that actress-turned-politician Khushboo did not appear in the film, the director lately has revealed that another key scene was excluded.

In their usual fashion, fans argued on social media about which film was the true winner of the Pongal race.

If Varisu and Thunivu had been released on different days, industry professionals predict that their combined earnings would have been four times as high.

Unfortunately, Chennai city ended in tears when a filmgoer fell off a lorry while celebrating the premiere of the Ajith-starring film Thunivu.

The iconic release has sparked euphoria across the state and shockingly, the celebrations went wrong and ended up in tragedy in some places.
