Valimai may face a tough competition in the coming days as Alia Bhatt’s Gangubai Kathiawadi and Pawan Kalyan’s Bheemla Nayak released today in theatres. Both the movies have already created a lot of buzz and have got positive reviews as well. So, in that scenario let’s see how Valimai performs at the box office.
