Ajith Kumar's Valimai is creating records left and right after it began streaming on the ZEE5 OTT platform and is now officially the "most-watched and re-watched film" on OTT. Boney Kapoor, who produced the mass action thriller under his Bayview Projects LLP banner in association with Zee Studios, further revealed that the film continues to break all records everywhere and has recorded more than 500 million minutes of streaming. Valimai premiered in Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, and Kannada languages on the ZEE5 streaming channel on March 25 after it was released in theatres on February 24 and went on to collect more than 200 crores in box office collections.
Valimai has received a sensational response in both cinemas and on OTT and has once again shown why Ajith is such a dominant box office force. Post the theatrical release of the film, the makers had also released scenes exclusively on OTT after they were taken out from the final theatrical cut, which have no doubt come as a bonus treat for Ajith's ardent fans. Despite the mixed reviews, Valimai hit the bullseye and is now the second consecutive success for the superstar with director H. Vinoth, producer Boney Kapoor, and composer Yuvan Shankar Raja after their 2019 hit Nerkonda Paarvai. Below is Boney Kapoor's announcement:
