Simbu's Vaalu and Arya's Vasuvum Saravananum Onna Padichavanga (VSOP) had a worldwide release yesterday (14th August). Now, it is time for us to gauge the first day box office collections of both these movies and also their first weekend collections
While VSOP had a taciturn opening, Vaalu had a huge buzz engulfing it prior to its release which was quite understandable considering the movie's bumpy ride in the last three years.
The movie was also supported well by Simbu fans who were determined to makeVaalu a huge hit. Hence as expected, Vaalu did perform better than VSOP on its first day all over Tamil Nadu, according to trade sources.
However, the Arya-Tamannaah starrer might have a slight advantage over Vaalu in the coming days as it has managed to garner marginally better reviews from fans and critics.
This being the case, trade analysts have indicated that VSOP might do well in A centres while Vaalu might score big in B and C centres, thanks to Simbu's fan base.
But at the end of the day, the box office success of both these movies might depend upon the all important word of mouth, as it is in the case of most of the films if not all.
