Ajith in a 'Veshti' set in the backdrop of a village must have been a refreshing change for his fans watching him in urban avatars. Siva’s Veeram received grand opening and reviews from Ajith’s fans. With slightly more shows than Jilla in and around Chennai, Veeram sits on top even though both the movies opened to similar occupancies.

Box office collection is calculated taking into account the number of shows and theater occupancy in theaters falling under the Chennai City trade area.
