The Tamil film ‘Madha Gadha Raja’ has emerged as the biggest surprise of this Pongal season. Despite a 12-year delay, the movie has struck a chord with audiences, gaining impressive box office collections and witnessing steady growth with each passing day.
On its fourth day, the film achieved its highest single-day gross, demonstrating its strong word-of-mouth appeal. Within just four days, ‘Madha Gadha Raja’ has grossed an impressive ₹21 crore in Tamil Nadu alone. The film is now well on its way to crossing the ₹50 crore gross mark, a milestone it is expected to achieve soon.
Fans across Tamil Nadu have embraced the movie wholeheartedly, appreciating its engaging storyline, Vishal’s performance, and the long-awaited release finally coming to fruition. The excitement surrounding the film has even sparked requests from Tamil audiences for the makers to release it overseas, as the demand for the movie grows globally.
Given Vishal’s strong market in Telugu-speaking states, there is also growing speculation about the film being dubbed in Telugu for a release in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. If this happens, ‘Madha Gadha Raja’ could find even greater success, further cementing its position as a surprising blockbuster this festive season.
As the film continues to dominate the Pongal box office, ‘Madha Gadha Raja’ proves that great content and a solid performance can transcend delays, making it a standout moment in Tamil cinema for 2025.
