Vishnu Vishal has become the highest grossing Tamil film in history. The action-packed family film Gatta Kusthi 2 has crossed the barrier of ₹25.64 crore worldwide in five days as the best film of his 2018 thriller film “Ratsasan” has earned around ₹20 crore worldwide through the box office till date.
Gatta Kusthi 2 has been doing very well at the box office, reaching family audiences and getting good word-of-mouth support; Chella Ayyavu’s film has been well received by the entire film. On its first day of release, it crossed ₹4.25 crores worldwide and has been growing over the weekend in terms of box office. With more than 4 days of release, the film has only gotten better in Tamil Nadu, where very few people have seen it.
Vishnu Vishal is playing with Aishwarya Lekshmi in the film and we see that the chemistry between them is outstanding and so are the performances. Gatta Kusthi 2 is a big entertainer that is popular in different age groups. It has an entertaining story and has the mass audience which it needs to keep returning to theatres.
The film has earned about ₹18.4 crore net in India and overseas is over ₹4.5 crore and has a worldwide gross of over ₹25.64 crore. This has allowed Vishnu Vishal to overtake Ratsasan, which had been his biggest commercial success till date.
Producers of the film thanked the film’s audience for their overwhelming support. They said the film’s success was due to the strong family turnout in cinemas and the positive word-of-mouth which has stayed strong even after a strong initial weekend. Industry experts say such a good performance confirms the film’s consistently strong performance indicates that the audience is okay with the movie and may sign off well and could translate into a longer theatrical run.
Trade analysts are now optimistic that Gatta Kusthi 2 will eventually become a ₹50 crore movie worldwide if it continues to do well in the coming weeks. In the absence of competition, the film will still have good audience reaction and will also make money on weekends and holidays so it will remain strong.
Gatta Kusthi 2 is yet another impressive performance for Vishnu Vishal. And now after all that critical awards for Ratsasan he has delivered his biggest commercial blockbuster, strengthening his position in the Tamil film industry. Thanks to the success of family entertainment with action, comedy, and emotional storytelling in the film as well.
After all these good box office numbers and good audience reviews and good film sales as well as great theatrical hold, Gatta Kusthi 2 is now one of the top Tamil movies of 2026. As it is going to stay the way it has and keep going, is this film going to get into the top ₹50 crore club of films globally?
