The Tamil film 'Raayan', directed by and starring Dhanush, has made a significant impact at the box office since its release on July 26, 2024, grossing over Rs 150 crore globally. This achievement marks Dhanush's first film to reach this milestone and positions 'Raayan' as the highest-grossing Tamil film with an adult rating. The film, which is Dhanush's 50th and second directorial venture, has received mixed reviews but has been praised for its technical aspects and performances. Notably, it has grossed approximately Rs 75 crore in Tamil Nadu alone, contributing to its record-breaking success. Dhanush has celebrated this accomplishment by hosting a feast for the press and donating Rs 25 lakh to aid Kerala landslide victims. Overall, 'Raayan' has not only shattered records but also reestablished Dhanush's status as a leading actor in Tamil cinema.
