The Awe-Inspiring Box Office Dominance of Tamil Superstar Vijay
Achieving Eight Straight Box Office Successes of Over 200 Crore, Outpacing Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar, and Prabhas; Yet, This Star Decided to Hang Up His Acting Shoes atthe Peak of his Career.
Wanna know who's been slaying the Indian cinematic scene recently? None other than our very own Thalapathy, aka Vijay. This badass has managed to outshine even the Khan dynasty and Prabhas with eight back-to-back ₹200-crore films! C'mon, let's break it down.
Vijay: The Unstoppable Force
Once upon a time, the ₹100-crore club was the benchmark of box office success in Indian cinema. But with escalating ticket prices and lucrative markets, ₹200 crore has become the new standard, and Vijay has been smashing it since Mersal in 2017. This film marked the beginning of his unbeatable streak that is still going strong, with hits like Sarkar, Bigil, Master, Beast, Varisu, Leo, and The Greatest of All Time (GOAT).
Check out Vijay's Instagram post here to see for yourself. His latest film, GOAT, raked in an impressive ₹400 crore worldwide despite being slightly underwhelming. That's some jaw-dropping numbers, mate!
Topping the Khans and Prabhas
Vijay's beating of the box office odds is downright impressive. Not even heavyweights like Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar have managed eight consecutive ₹200-crore hits. Currently, Shah Rukh Khan has three, but he's got a long way to go to catch up with Vijay's number. Even Rajinikanth admitted defeat with box office bombs every now and then.
Bid adieu to Films, Hello Politics
The news that'll make you go "What the Thalapathy?!" is that Vijay has decided to retire from filmmaking. In February 2024, he announced the formation of his political party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK). After the release of his final film, Jana Nayagan, which stars Pooja Hegde and Bobby Deol and is scheduled for a January 9, 2026, premiere, Vijay will hang up his acting boots and enter the political arena. At the age of 51, he'll be putting his leadership skills to the test.
