Following the poor performance of Thangalaan, Chiyaan Vikram’s recent release, Veera Dheera Sooran, has been able to display some spark at the box office. Although the movie has not become a huge success, it has been moving consistently, garnering a decent collection in its 8-day extended opening weekend. The Kollywood action thriller has garnered ₹30.14 crore net within the Indian box office so far, giving the movie a ray of hope as it heads towards the second weekend.

The Eid holiday on day 5 helped in a good collection of ₹4.50 crore.

Veera Dheera Sooran Targets Cobra
With ₹30.14 crore earned so far, Veera Dheera Sooran has the potential to cross Cobra (₹43.47 crore) and avoid being Vikram’s lowest-grossing post-COVID release. His post-COVID releases are Ponniyin Selvan (₹266.70 crore), Ponniyin Selvan 2 (₹182 crore), Thangalaan (₹46.15 crore), and Cobra (₹43.47 crore). Veera Dheera Sooran has the potential to cross Cobra with only ₹13.34 crore more.
