Taran Adarsh also shared the demographic trend of the film on Twitter.”#VikramVedha *circuit-wise* weekend data…⭐ #Mumbai: 11.40 cr⭐ #DelhiUP: 7.79 cr⭐ #EastPunjab: 3.42 cr⭐ #Rajasthan: 1.48 cr⭐ #CI: 99 lacs⭐ #CP: 1.32 cr⭐ #Nizam & #AP: 2.60 cr⭐ #Mysore: 2.27 cr⭐ #WestBengal: 2.81 cr⭐ #Bihar: 1.05 cr⭐ #Odisha: 83 lacs.”

‘Vikram Vedha’ is a neo-noir thriller which also happens to be a remake of 2017 Tamil film of the same name.

The film was released alongside ‘Ponniyin Selvan-1’, Mani Ratnam’s epic in theatres. ‘Vikram Vedha’ also needs to trend better on Dusshera to be able to make a mark. ‘Ponniyin Selvan’, on the other hand, has been doing great business. The Mani Ratnam film has already collected Rs. 200 crores at the box office.

In the original film, R Madhavan played the cop( played by Saif in the remake) and Vijay Sethupathi- gangster( portrayed by Hrithik). Inspired by the Indian folktale Vikram-Betaal, the film follows a police-chase sequence.
