As per the TOI report, the film enjoyed special morning shows in Chennai and other regions of Tamil Nadu, as it has received an overwhelming response in the state since its release.

On Friday, the team of Vikram organised a huge success meet to mark the all-time records the film was smashing. The event was attended by a host of dignitaries, including director Lokesh, actor Kamal Haasan, music director Anirudh and Udhayanidhi Stalin.
Speaking on the occasion, Udhayanidhi, whose Red Giant Movies holds the film's distribution rights for Tamil Nadu disclosed, "We knew the film would become a hit but we did not know it would become such a big hit. We have entered the third week and just the share itself is Rs 75 crores. So far, no Tamil cinema has earned so much. The film is still going strong. As far as I know, the pressure for tickets to this film is going to be there for another five to six weeks. "
Sanjay Wadhwa, the Managing director of AP International, which is the international distribution partner of the film, said, the film had broken records in every single country.
"I will be glad to inform you that overseas collections of Vikram will touch Rs 100 crores by Monday," he informed.
In Kerala, the film, which producer Shibu Thameens distributed, has already made Rs 35 crores as of Friday, the highest for a Tamil film in Kerala so far.
The film has come as a godsend to both the film industry and theatres, which had been hit hard by the pandemic. The film's trailblazing performance, experts opine, will give a big boost to the film business.
