Tamil Nadu remained its strongest market, contributing ₹3 crore gross on Sunday. Positive word of mouth appears to be helping the film build momentum, although its overall numbers remain moderate for a Vijay Sethupathi starrer.Set in 1986 Madras, Baththa follows a feared gangster accidentally trapped inside a deserted school restroom by an eight year old boy. Their unexpected relationship becomes the emotional heart of the film. Reviews have praised Vijay Sethupathi’s performance, the child actor’s work and Balaji Tharaneetharan’s balance of humour, emotion and humanity.The film’s positive talk now faces its biggest test during the weekdays.
