This, by far is a record in the state for a non-single release. Considering the tough competition Vedalam had to confront in the form of 'Ulaganayagan' Kamal Haasan'sThoongaavanam, the first day collections of the Ajith starrer is considered to be a terrific achievement.
As we all know, Vedalam had to share screens with Thoongaavanam, not just in Tamil Nadu but all over the world. Had Vedalam grabbed almost all the screens in the state, this collection of 14 Crore rupees could've easily doubled.

In fact, it is being widely reported that Vedalam has crossed the first day collections of superstar Rajinikanth's Lingaa in Tamil Nadu and in the process presented theYennai Arindhaal star his biggest first day opening ever.
The film's performance at the box office on day one was terrific in Karnataka and Kerala. The capital city of Karnataka, Bangalore witnessed an amazing response as almost all theatres were housefull throughout the opening day.
When it comes to the overseas, Vedalam is said to have performed well in countries like France and the United States. The Ajith starrer might've collected a whopping 22 Crore rupees from all over the world on its first day. Official confirmation though is awaited on this.
