Despite limited pre-release buzz, Sivakarthikeyan’s Madharaasi managed a decent opening weekend in Tamil Nadu, though its performance in the Telugu market remained below expectations. However, the film witnessed a huge fall in collections on its first Monday.
The movie grossed approximately ₹62 crore worldwide over its first weekend. But Monday saw a huge fall for Madharaasi of over 60%, bringing the four-day total to around ₹68 crore. This significant dip has put pressure on the film’s future collections.
Trade analysts believe the only hope now is for the film to stabilize in the coming days and avoid further declines. To achieve a “hit” status at the box office, Madharaasi needs to reach a gross of ₹150 crore, which will require a consistent and steady run in theatres.
