Rs 350 crore went waste, this action thriller was a big flop, but became hit after its release on OTT, film is..., lead actors are...

We often come across several massive projects with a big dream, but what happens when a Rs 350-crore dream turns into a nightmare at the box office? And we are talking about Vidaamuyarchi, starring superstar Ajith Kumar and Trisha Krishnan, a South Indian action-thriller that's rewriting its fate online. Directed by Magizh Thirumeni, Vidaamuyarchi was one of 2025's most anticipated Tamil releases. The film boasted a massive budget of Rs 350 crore. But despite the hype, it crashed at the box office, earning just Rs 81 crore in India and Rs 135.65 crore globally. A commercial disaster, by all measures. Why is Vidaamuyarchi trending now? Despite its theatrical failure, Vidaamuyarchi is now trending on Netflix and climbing streaming charts rapidly. With an IMDb rating of 6.8/10, viewers are now discovering the film's gripping second half, layered performances, and emotional twists that somehow got lost in the big-screen noise. Vidaamuyarchi's Plot The film tells the story of Arun and Kayal, a couple on the verge of divorce who decide to take one last road trip through Azerbaijan. But what begins as a final goodbye turns into a nightmare; they're kidnapped, and a shocking secret turns the entire story upside down. With stunning visuals and a suspense-filled narrative, the climax leaves audiences stunned. The film's resurgence shows a growing trend in South Indian cinema films flopping in theatres, only to thrive on OTT platforms. Whether it's changing audience preferences or the power of convenience, Vidaamuyarchi is proof that a second chance can make all the difference.
