Actor-turned-politician Vijay's vehicle was surrounded by supporters who showered flower petals as his party moved towards a win in the Tamil Nadu assembly elections.
As of 7:30 pm, Vijay's TVK had won 59 seats and was leading in 48 others, having a hold in 107 seats in total.
Vijay's entry as the leader of TVK made the election a three-cornered fight in a state where politics has long centred around alliances led by the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK).
Supporters of the TVK chief can be seen surrounding his vehicle and showering petals on it to celebrate the party's performance in the Tamil Nadu elections.
Party workers also gathered outside the headquarters in Chennai on Monday, waving flags and distributing sweets to mark the party's showing.
However, there are concerns that the state could see a hung assembly if no party reaches the required number, and TVK still needs at least 11 more seats to reach the majority.
