Shah Rukh Khan has also made the cut with Pathaan and Jawan, while Vijay joined the ranks with Leo and The Greatest Of All Time. Even Yash’s KGF 2 and Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal have reached this impressive figure.
In Tamil cinema, only two films—Leo and The Greatest Of All Time—have crossed the 100 crore mark on their opening day, and Vijay is the only star to achieve this.

The promotional campaign has created significant buzz, and many believe the film has the potential for a strong box-office debut.
Suriya’s popularity across other languages beyond Tamil belts is a big advantage and Kanguva seems to have that pan-India appeal in terms of making and budget, and industry insiders are predicting that Kanguva could achieve that coveted 100 crore worldwide opening.
A lot would depend on how promotions go in the next few weeks and the buzz is built. Also, Kanguva has to do phenomenal business in Hindi, Telugu, and other languages to hit the 100 crore milestone.
If it does, it would mark a significant achievement for Suriya and director Siva. As of now 70-80 crore first day worldwide gross looks certain but beyond that, we will have to wait and watch.
