In its opening weekend, Vishal's film has grossed Rs. 5.7 cr in TamilNadu in 3 days whereas Vijay Sethupathi's film has grossed Rs. 4.72 cr in 2 days. Due to poor word of mouth, the occupancy in the theatres have witnessed a sharp decline during the weekdays. Both the films have got average opening in the first 3 days. Despite having a two-day theatrical run, Sanga Thamizhan has performed a little better compared to Action. However with lesser footfalls, the films might end up as below average ventures.
