Finally available in theaters is Madharaasi, which stars Sivakarthikeyan, Rukmini Vasanth, and Vidyut Jammwal in important roles. When it was first revealed, moviegoers were really interested in the picture, and expectations were quite high. However, the mediocre to subpar promoting material caused the hype to fade, and the movie lost a lot of momentum. The box office’s advance booking phase also showed a decline in interest. Let’s see how it performed in Tamil Nadu’s first day of pre-sales!

A strong trailer and a few popular songs might have made a tremendous impact, but without these things, the action thriller is entirely dependent on the talent involved. There is a certain halo effect at work because Siva is coming off of Amaran’s huge success. Additionally, some foot traffic has been drawn to the actor’s partnership with AR Murugadoss.
Limited bookings in advance for Madharaasi in Tamil Nadu
According to Cinetrak, Madharaasi sold 5.35 crore worth of tickets at the box office to end its first day of advance sales in Tamil Nadu. 3.07 lakh tickets are being sold, most likely including seats that have been restricted. This figure doesn’t seem good given the Eid-e-Milad holiday, and far bigger pre-sales were anticipated.
For those who don’t know, Amaran, Sivakarthikeyan’s most recent film, had a first-day gross of 9.86 crore. Comparatively speaking, Madharaasi made 45.74%, or 46% less than Amaran. Such a significant disparity obviously suggests that Siva’s most recent behemoth has not generated much excitement.
The holiday aspect may help the movie flourish during evening and night presentations if the first word-of-mouth is favorable.

Madharaasi must have a strong showing at the Indian box office.
With a budget of 200 crores, the most recent Kollywood action movie is reputedly Sivakarthikeyan’s most costly production. It must do very well at the Indian box office given the price. Coolie’s collapse will help it, but it won’t be that simple because it has to make at least 200 crore net in India in order to go into the safe zone.
