But despite all this, Vijay's huge fan base helped the movie make a great start.
It reportedly made over 215 crore globally, showing why he is still one of the top draws in Indian cinema.
Now comes the real challenge.
The first weekend is over, and how the movie does during the weekdays will determine if it can keep doing well at the box office.
Industry experts say Vijay's fame can bring in good early numbers, but only the weekday earnings can show if the movie is really strong.
If the numbers stay steady, it will quiet many of the early critics.
For Vijay, this film is especially important as it's being seen as a big milestone in his career.
Strong weekday numbers would help solidify his reputation as a top box office star.
If Jana Nayagan keeps making good money on Monday and throughout the rest of the week, Vijay's popularity alone will be the big talking point.
It will once again show that very few actors can still draw crowds to theaters, even when the film faces a lot of negative attention.
