The film was a at the box office. With a production budget estimated at ₹40 crore, it went on to gross approximately ₹28 crore worldwide within just the first four days. By the end of its theatrical run, the total worldwide collection was around ₹42 crore, while the domestic net collection stood at roughly ₹35.15 crore. The film's positive word-of-mouth helped it maintain a solid run, even on weekdays.

The “HE” in the filename almost certainly stands for HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding), also known as H.265. Compared to its predecessor H.264 (AVC), HEVC can halve the bitrate for the same perceptual quality. For a 2‑hour‑40‑minute film like Viduthalai Part 1 (runtime 161 minutes), an H.264 encode at high quality might exceed 15 GB. A well‑tuned HEVC encode with 10‑bit color can achieve equal or better quality at 8–12 GB—small enough for storage but still far above streaming services (Netflix typically offers 1080p at ~5 Mbps, while a good HEVC encode might average 8–12 Mbps).
