The postponement of Ajith’s Vidaamuyarchi allowed as many as ten films to occupy the Pongal slot. One among them is Vishal’s 12-year-old Madha Gaja Raja, directed by Sundar C. The release was delayed due to financial and legal troubles. The movie mostly received positive reviews and emerged as a massive blockbuster.
According to the latest update, Madha Gaja Raja crossed Rs. 50 crores gross mark at the Tamil Nadu box office. A 12-year-old film achieving Rs. 50 crores is nothing short of a sensation. Last year, Sundar C scored a blockbuster with Aranmanai 4, and now he delivered one more huge hit with Madha Gaja Raja.
The comedy entertainer has set the cash registers ringing during the festive season and became the most preferred film for movie lovers in Tamil Nadu. The failure of Ram Charan and Shankar’s Game Changer also helped Madha Gaja Raja to a large extent.
Madha Gaja Raja is yet to be released in international markets. Also the Telugu version is slated for release on January 31. The collections will be much bigger if the film clicks in these regions. Anjali and Varalaxmi Sarathkumar played the female leads. Santhanam played a crucial role, while Vijay Antony composed the music.
