Sivakarthikeyan’s latest action thriller Madharaasi, directed by AR Murugadoss, continues its strong run at the box office after releasing on September 5.
As per early estimates from Sacnilk.com, the film earned around ₹11.75 crore net on Saturday (Day 2) across all languages, taking its domestic total to ₹25.40 crore in just two days. The movie had opened on Friday with ₹13.65 crore net, led by the Tamil version (₹12 crore). The Telugu version contributed ₹1.55 crore, while the Hindi version added about ₹0.1 crore. Although Day 2 numbers dipped slightly compared to the opening day, collections remained solid, ensuring a promising start for the film.
Performance trends suggest that Tamil audiences are driving the film’s success, with higher occupancy compared to its other language versions. Trade analysts note that such a dip after a strong debut is normal, and all eyes are now on Sunday’s performance to gauge the film’s first-weekend total.
Backed by Sri Lakshmi Movies, Madharaasi features a stellar cast including Sivakarthikeyan, Rukmini Vasanth, Vidyut Jammwal, Biju Menon, Vikranth, and Shabeer Kallarakkal. The story revolves around a man suffering from Fregoli delusion, who gets caught in a dangerous mission to prevent the smuggling of illegal arms into Tamil Nadu.
On the technical front, the film boasts music by Anirudh Ravichander, cinematography by Sudeep Elamon, and editing by Sreekar Prasad.
Madharaasi Day 3 Box Office: Sivakarthikeyan’s Film Collects ₹35 Crore in Opening Weekend, Trails Behind Amaran
AR Murugadoss’ latest directorial, Madharaasi, starring Sivakarthikeyan, Rukmini Vasanth, and Vidyut Jammwal, hit theatres on September 5. Despite receiving mixed reviews from critics, the action thriller has delivered a decent first weekend at the box office.
According to early estimates from Sacnilk, Madharaasi collected around ₹9.67 crore net in India on Sunday (Day 3). With this, the film’s domestic total stands at ₹35.42 crore in three days.

Regional Performance
The film is clearly performing stronger in Tamil Nadu, with a 52% occupancy on Sunday, compared to 19% in Telugu markets. However, the Hindi version has struggled to make a mark so far.
When compared to Sivakarthikeyan’s 2024 blockbuster Amaran, which grossed ₹61.55 crore in India and ₹104.50 crore worldwide in its first weekend, Madharaasi falls short. Trade experts suggest the film’s performance in weekdays will decide whether it can pick up momentum or face a sharp decline.
