Ram-Setu-Thank-God

Akshay Kumar’s film Ram Setu, which released on Diwali, has earned around Rs 15 crore on its first day, while Ajay Devgn starrer film Thank God, which also released the same day, has made a first day collection of around Rs 8 crore.

Talking about the first day collection of both the films, Akshay’s film is far ahead in the box office race.

Akshay has a lot of expectations from this film, as all his films released in theaters for the last two years have fallen flat at the box office. However, Ajay Devgn’s record in this matter is no better, because his films released this year have not been able to perform amazingly.

Ram Setu has earned Rs 15 crore on the first day. If we take a look at all the films starring Akshay Kumar that were released in the last two years, only Sooryavanshi’s first day collection is better than that of Ram Setu. Sooryavanshi had earned around Rs 26.29 crore on the first day. Talking about the highest first day collection, after Brahmastra, Ram Setu has secured the second position among all the films released this year.

Ajay Devgn’s Runway 34 earns only Rs 3 crore on day-1

Ajay’s films like Runway 34 and Gangubai Kathiawadi were released this year. Runway 34 performed poorly at the box office. The film did a business of only Rs 3 crores on the first day. Ajay Devgn was seen as the supporting actor in Gangubai Kathiawadi. However, Gangubai did a box office collection of Rs 10.5 crore on the very first day. The film proved to be a hit at the box office.

Akshay and Ajay’s films release dates had clashed earlier as well

This is not the first time that Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgn’s films have been released together at the box office. Earlier in 2009, Akshay’s film ‘Blue’ and Ajay’s film ‘All the Best’ were released on the occasion of Diwali. Apart from this, on Diwali in 2010, Akshay Kumar’s ‘Action Replayy’ and Ajay Devgn’s ‘Golmaal 3’ release date clashed. Now after 12 years, the films of both the actors have been released on the same day.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin on Thursday lauded the team of Amaran including film starrer Sai Pallavi and Sivakarthikeyan as well as director Rajkumar Periasamy for capturing the bravery and dedication of Tamil Nadu army veteran Major Mukund Varadarajan in his film.

The Tamil Nadu Chief Minister said that he watched the film at the invitation of veteran actor Kamal Haasan

“I watched a movie yesterday #amrnnn after accepting the invitation of my artist friend @ikamalhaasan. It’s great to bring true stories to today’s youth in the form of books – as well as movies! Director @Rajkumar_KP, Major Mukund Varadarajan – Tirumiku has emotionally captured the bravery and dedication of Tamil Nadu army veteran Major Mukund Varadarajan. My congratulations to all the crew of Thambi @Siva_Kartikeyan, @Sai_Pallavi92 and #Amaran for portraying the roles of Indu Rebecca Varghese very well! Big Salute to our soldiers who protect the country – Major Mukund Varadarajan who lives in our memory! @RKFI @gvprakash,” Stalin posted on X.

Recently, the creators of Amaran released the film’s trailer, featuring Sivakarthikeyan in the titular role of Major Mukund Varadarajan. The film narrates the compelling story of the decorated soldier who commanded the Indian Army’s 44 Rashtriya Rifles Cheetah Company and made the ultimate sacrifice for his country. Sai Pallavi joins the cast as well, and the film is premiering today.

The trailer opens with a striking statement from an officer to Major Mukund: “You do not choose 44 RR; 44 RR chooses you,” effectively setting the tone for the heroism depicted in the film. It offers glimpses into Major Mukund’s personal life, showcasing his family’s reaction to his choice to join the military and the love story he shares with Indhu, portrayed by Sai Pallavi.

Intense action sequences illustrate Major Mukund, as played by Sivakarthikeyan, in battle, where he resolutely declines a retreat order from his superior, asserting, “I’ll save every life I can and come back, sir.” Indhu expresses her pride, stating, “I am proud of him being an army officer and me being an army wife.” A poignant moment captures Sivakarthikeyan’s character stating, “This is the face of the Indian army,” highlighting his unwavering determination.

Kamal Haasan, one of the film’s producers, shared the trailer on social media, stating, “Leaders seldom choose a trodden path. They create one where there is none and blaze a new trail. #MajorMukundVaradarajan of Tamil Nadu is one such leader. We take pride in telling his story.”

Inspired by the true events chronicled in Shiv Aroor and Rahul Singh’s book “India’s Most Fearless”, Amaran serves as a tribute to a genuine hero. The trailer has been released in various languages, with notable personalities such as Nani promoting it in Telugu, Tovino Thomas in Malayalam, Shiva Rajkumar in Kannada, and Aamir Khan in Hindi.

The trailer concludes on an emotional note, featuring Major Mukund’s daughter asking Indhu, “You told me appa will come for my birthday, will he come?”

Directed by Rajkumar Periasamy and produced by the iconic Kamal Haasan, alongside R. Mahendran and Sony Pictures International Productions, Amaran poignantly tells the story of Major Mukund Varadarajan and his wife Indhu, encapsulating their journey of love, sacrifice, and the profound personal losses encountered during Major Varadarajan’s heroic service to the nation.
