Sivakarthikeyan’s new film Madharaasi has made a strong start at the global box office. The film crossed ₹60 crore in its opening weekend. It was released on September 5 under the direction of AR Murugadoss.
The movie drew mixed reviews from critics but managed solid collections. Early trends suggest it will soon overtake other mid-range Tamil releases of the year.
Madharaasi Box Office Numbers in Detail
According to trade sources, Madharaasi collected ₹36.40 crore net and ₹42.75 crore gross in India during its first three days. The overseas collection added another ₹20.25 crore. That brought the worldwide total to ₹63 crore by Sunday.
The Tamil version drove most of the business with ₹32.65 crore. The Telugu version contributed ₹3.45 crore, while the Hindi release earned only ₹3 lakh. Reports said the Tamil version recorded 56% occupancy on Sunday. The Telugu release saw 19% occupancy.
For comparison, Sivakarthikeyan’s earlier film Amaran had opened much bigger at ₹104.50 crore in three days. Murugadoss’s previous Hindi release Sikandar, led by Salman Khan, had made over ₹123 crore in the same period. Even so, Madharaasi is holding steady and showing growth potential.
Performance Against Other Films
Madharaasi may not match Amaran, but it is already close to beating some recent titles. Vikram’s Veera Dheera Sooran: Part 2 closed at ₹63.45 crore worldwide. Madharaasi has nearly touched that figure within its first weekend. The next milestone is Vijay Sethupathi and Nithya Menen’s Thalaivan Thalaivii, which earned ₹83.6 crore.
Industry experts believe word of mouth and strong star power could push Madharaasi past ₹100 crore in the coming week. If it does, it will mark another commercial success for Sivakarthikeyan and Murugadoss.
Storyline and Cast Strength
The movie stars Sivakarthikeyan as Raghu Ram, a man suffering from Fregoli delusion. The plot follows his involvement in a mission to stop an arms syndicate in Tamil Nadu. Rukmini Vasanth plays Malathy, his love interest, while Vidyut Jammwal plays the main villain Virat.
The cast also includes Biju Menon, Vikranth, and Shabeer Kallarakkal in key roles. The film is produced by Sri Lakshmi Movies. The producers recently warned fans and crew against sharing unauthorized content from the sets, stressing the importance of respecting official releases.
Madharaasi movie box office collection has given Sivakarthikeyan another strong start. The film is on track to cross more milestones in the coming days. Fans are keen to see how far it goes in its theatrical run.
