The ardent fans of Ajith have been celebrating the arrival of the star's much-awaited movie 'Valimai' in the theatres. The fans had gone frenzy for the past few days as they rushed to win tickets for the FDFS (First Day- First Show). The sea of crowds was visible across and beyond the borders and the movie hit the big screens on Thursday - February 24. The fans and audience had awarded a grand opening for Valimai in the theatres only to witness average reviews. 

The unprecedented wait, the crew, and the storyline had poured more expectations on the fans and after episodes of deferment of release, the movie team has finally announced the release date as February 24. To spur the fans towards the theatres, the movie team had been busy with releasing several spruiking videos and the booking of the ticket had begun days ahead of the release. 

To enjoy the movie and to relish watching Ajith in theatres for the first time in three years, the fans and audience had thronged to the theatres and booking sites to reserve the tickets for the first day's first show. Almost all the theatres in Chennai had announced that the tickets for all the shows were sold out for the first day and hours ahead of the first show, hundreds of fans had gathered before the theatres and begun celebrating the release. 

Chennai was clouded with such celebrations and fans had burst crackers to savour the release. Several theatres in Chennai had screened early morning shows. Surprisingly, hundreds of fans in a theatre in Tamil Nadu had celebrated the release of Valimai by dancing to the song of 'Arabic Kuthu' from Vijay's upcoming movie 'Beast'. In what had appeared to be a midnight show, the fans can be heard dancing for Arabic Kuthu and the video from the spot have been going viral on social media. 

On the other hand, in the midst of expectations, Valimai had invited a verdict that it is one-time watchable. Several fans had sounded that the movie didn't exceed the expectations and it may a treat for Ajith fans. Valimai is bankrolled by Boney Kapoor under the banner 'Bayview Projects' and directed by H Vinoth. Ajith plays the lead role and Kartikeya Gummakonda, Huma Qureshi, Bani J, Yogi Babu, and Pavel Navageethan had played important roles.
