Tamil superstar Ajith Kumarโs Valimai has opened to packed houses across the world on Thursday. The H Vinoth directorial stars Ajith Kumar as a cop. Even as the makers launched a publicity blitz ahead of Boney Kapoor production Valimai’s release, Ajith chose to stay away as is his style.
The promos of Valimai has set sky-high expectations. Given the action sequences in the film, it is being called the Indian Fast & Furious. One of the biggest releases this year, it will come out in three languages.
The movie also stars Kartikeya, Huma Qureshi, Yogi Babu, Pugazh, and Sumithra.
Trade analyst Ramesh Bala shared a photo of the theatre being housefull, and said that the film was off to a good start.
However, many fans were upset with Valimai, and took to Twitter and trended #ValimaiDisaster, calling it Vivegam Part 2.
Filmmaker Venkat Prabhu tweeted, "My hearty wishes to #Valimai team for a super duper blockbuster!! Gonna watch #ajith saar after a long time on da big screen!! #hvinod #ActionExtravaganza."
Director Kumaran tweeted, "#Valimai one and only #Thala #AjithKumar ๐ฅโค๏ธ Pre & post Interval Bike action Sequence.

A fan @dp_karthik tweeted, "Very less of whistle worthy scenes in the film. #NaangaVeraMaari is just kept for the sake of hero introduction song & camera works in some scenes are avg. Twists were gripping & casts were used well. On an overall note #Valimai is a good film for #AK over the last 7 years."
Actor Kalaiyarasan tweeted, "#ValimaiFromToday Wishing the whole team a huge blockbuster.. Waiting to experience the power packed film.. hardwork never fails .. Love U #Ajith sir #HVinoth anna @thisisysr @BayViewProjOffl @ZeeStudios_ @BoneyKapoor @humasqureshi don’t miss it."
Fans were seen celebrating Ajith starrer Valimai's release.
A Twitter user, @Indian1726 shared, "#Valimai worked very very very well for me! Loved it! I just loved the way the message was conveyed soo very strongly with less cringe. Very good watch! Fully commercial padam. Hopefully majority like it and it becomes a blockbuster! #Valimaireview #Valimaifdfs #Ajith #Ak."
A fan @billapradeepcse tweeted, "#Valimai - An international Level Concept and action elements gives exactly what it promises in the first half. The Pacing was really exceptional literally but its the second half and those sentiments which somehow dilutes that first half experience. Overall a decent watch!"
Sharing a video, Valimai star Huma Qureshi wrote, "The power of #Valimai ๐ฅ๐ฏ #FirstDayFirstShow absolute madness ๐ #humbled #overjoyed #gratitude."
Vinoth's idea of creating an urban legend goes awry when the film fails to distinguish Ajith Kumar's offscreen persona from Ajith Kumar's character in Valimai. READ THE FULL VALIMAI REVIEW HERE
Sridevi Sreedhar tweeted, "#Valimai: The biggest highlight in the brilliantly choreographed action scenes on bikes. @humasqureshi is perfect and she has done a good job. The predictable Amma sentiments could have been a bit toned down. #HVinoth @thisisysr #AK."
