By “Vijay’s ‘GOAT’ to Lead with Early Morning Shows, Breaking New Ground in Tamil Nadu”
Vijay’s upcoming film, ‘GOAT,’ making it the first to benefit from this exception. A theatre in Coimbatore has already started booking 7 AM shows, indicating that the First Day First Show (FDFS) for ‘GOAT’ will start at 7 AM in Tamil Nadu. Fans eagerly anticipate more theaters following suit and the government officially permitting early morning shows for Vijay’s highly anticipated release.
‘GOAT’ will be the first film to start even earlier outside Tamil Nadu, with FDFS scheduled to begin as early as 4 AM IST on September 5. This head start is expected to boost the film’s opening day box office performance and potentially set new records.
Interestingly, ‘GOAT’ has skipped a grand pre-release event, making it the only Vijay film in the last decade, aside from the 2022 release ‘Beast’ (which faced pandemic restrictions), to forgo an audio launch. Speculation suggests that Vijay chose to skip the promotional event to maintain good relations with the Tamil Nadu government and secure approval for the special morning shows. This move reflects Vijay’s commitment to his fans, ensuring they can experience his film earlier and heightening the excitement around its release.
