Ajith Kumar latest film Vidaamuyarchi Pattudala in Telugu has failed to impress audiences and critics alike resulting in a massive box office failure. Despite being one of the most anticipated films of the year Vidaamuyarchi Pattudala has struggled to even cross the 150 Cr mark finishing its theatrical run with a dismal 145 Cr gross worldwide. This is a shocking turn of events especially considering that Vidaamuyarchi has performed worse than Ajith previous film Valimai which was also a big disappointment.
Upon closer inspection it becomes clear that Ajith Kumar recent films including Vidaamuyarchi Pattudala and Valimai have deviated from the traditional commercial film format. Instead they have focused more on action and crime but failed to present these elements in an engaging and entertaining manner. As a result both films have tanked at the box office leaving fans disappointed and worried about Ajith career trajectory.
The failure of Vidaamuyarchi Pattudala is a significant setback for Ajith Kumar who was once considered one of the most bankable stars in Tamil cinema. The fact that his film has struggled to even cross the 150 Cr mark is a clear indication of his waning box office pull. This weekend Vidaamuyarchi was completely overshadowed by other films including Dragon and Dhanush NEEK which further highlights Ajith struggles to compete with his contemporaries.
The failure of Vidaamuyarchi has significant implications for Ajith Kumar career as it raises questions about his ability to deliver box office hits. With his recent films failing to impress Ajith needs to reassess his strategy and choose projects that will help him regain his lost momentum. Only time will tell if Ajith can bounce back from this setback and reclaim his position as one of Tamil cinema top stars.
