After an eight-year break, Ajith and Vijay's movie were released on the same day, just in time for Pongal. Fans of both performers are enjoying the film's arrival in theatres, as predicted. Thunivu and Varisu, on the other hand, have gotten mixed reviews.

However, both films have managed to please their audiences. Because the Pongal holiday is only a few days away, both films are expected to fare well. In the next days, we'll find out which film made it to the top.

About Varisu
The famous Telugu filmmaker Vamshi Paidipally is in charge of the highly awaited family entertainer, which stars Thalapathy Vijay in the titular role. Vijay's film, which also stars Rashmika Mandanna, has captivated millions of hearts. Varisu tells the story of a man who is the son of a business magnate. Under bad circumstances, he is forced to take over his father's enterprise. The script was co-written by Vamshi Paidipally, Hari, and Ashishor Solomon. It also stars R Sarath Kumar, Prakash Raj, Jayasudha, Khushbu, Srikanth, Shaam, Yogi Babu, and Sangeetha Krish in supporting roles. Dil Raju has supported the film through his Sri Venkateswara Creations brand. S Thaman created the film's soundtrack.

About Thunivu
Ajith's portrayal of the 'boss guy' steals the show in the action-packed thriller Thunivu. He has held people, hostage, at a bank. Police are seen attempting to determine his identification. However, it is a slow-moving mystery. The action-packed film features Ajith with a white beard and white hair. Ajith Kumar plays a little negative role in the action thriller, and he impresses the audience.

Malayalam film actress Manju Warrier plays the female protagonist, with Samuthirakani, John Kokken, Veeran, Ajay, and GM Sundar also playing important parts. Ghibran composed music for Ajith for the first time in Thunivu, while Nirav Shah directed the film.
