In south India, the film has smashed several records on the first day of its release. The Vijay starrer took record openings in Tamil Nadu by minting ₹12.5 crore nett. It became the highest day one grosser in the state by surpassing Rajinikanth's "Endhiran" (Tamil) collections, which netted approximately ₹11 crore.

According to an official report, "Kaththi has minted ₹23.80 crore on the opening day at the worldwide box office."

#Kaththi breaks all South film records on its first day -TOTAL -23.80 CR TN/Kerala / Karnataka & NorthIndia-16.45Cr OVERSEAS-7.35CR," tweeted "Kaththi" director A.R. Murugadoss.

The Vijay starrer is expected to surpass the ₹50 crore mark soon. It will be interesting to see if the film will beat "Thuppakki" collections and enter the ₹100 crore mark.

Directed by Murugadoss, "Kaththi" is Vijay's action thriller where he is playing dual roles. While one of the roles is that of a social activist, the other is a small time criminal. Vijay's performances won accolades from the critics and the audience, citing that it is one of his career best. Samantha, Neil Nithin Mukesh and comedian Sathish are also part of the film's cast.
