Ajith's Vivegam has managed to overcome negative reviews from a section of audience to do good business at the Tamil Nadu box office. The Siruthai Siva-directorial film crossed Rs 50-crore mark at the state box office on Wednesday, 30 August.

As per trade reports, Vivegam grossed over Rs 50 crore with distributors' share of around Rs 30 crore. The movie is being played on over 700 screens and set to end its first week on a high note.

Vivegam had minted Rs 41.9 crore with distributors' share of Rs 25.4 crore in the 4-day first weekend, reports leading trade tracker Andhra Box Office.
