Valimai is directed by H Vinoth. Tamil star Ajith’s latest release Valimai is having a good run in the theaters. It is attracting people in huge numbers to the cinema halls, posing a stiff competition to other theatrical releases of the week, Bheemla Nayak (Telugu) and Gangubai Kathiawadi (Hindi).
After earning Rs 1.82 crore in Chennai on the first day of its release on Thursday, Valimai has collected Rs 1.06 crore in the city on Friday. Trade analyst Kaushik LM wrote on Twitter, “#Valimai had a very good Day2 hold in Chennai city, after the humongous opening day. The film picked up force again in the evening & night shows after the usual working day morning drop. Friday city gross is 1.06 CR. 2-days total city gross is 2.88 CR 👌Weekend rage begins 🔥”
He also shared the break up of the film’s day one collection in various states of the country. He tweeted, “#AjithKumar’s #Valimai other South states opening day gross, Karnataka – 3.8 CR, Telugu states – 1.8 CR, Kerala – 1.2 CR.”

In his review of the film, IndianExpress.com’s Manoj Kumar R wrote, “H. 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.”
