Dhanush's milestone 50th film 'Raayan' has performed impressively at the box office, grossing over Rs 110 crore globally within its first eight days since its release on July 26, 2024. The film, which Dhanush both wrote and directed, has achieved significant success in Tamil Nadu, contributing to an overall collection of Rs 62.97 crore in India. Despite facing competition from new Tamil releases, 'Raayan' is expected to maintain strong performance during its second weekend, with strong advance ticket sales and no serious market competition. Critics have praised the film's compelling narrative and AR Rahman's impactful score, further cementing its status as one of the year's successful Tamil films. The film's trajectory suggests it could soon surpass Dhanush's previous highest-grossing film, 'Vaathi', which grossed Rs 118 crore. This commercial success marks a notable achievement for Dhanush in both his acting and directing career.
