With its current trajectory, the film is well on its way to achieving this milestone. The second-day collections have remained strong, and with positive word of mouth, it could continue to draw audiences over the coming weeks.
The combination of Vijay’s star power, Prabhu Deva’s impeccable direction, and a gripping storyline ensures that The Greatest of All Time is more than just a commercial hit—it’s a testament to the growing influence of Tamil cinema in the global entertainment landscape.
