Siva Karthikeyan’s Amaran, a biopic centered on the courageous life of Major Mukund Varadarajan, is set to make waves at the box office. Traditionally, films of this genre—military biopics with a non-commercial tone—tend to have slower openings.

However, Amaran has defied expectations. The film’s soul-stirring songs and impactful trailer have captured public interest, creating significant buzz. In Tamil Nadu, advance bookings have reached an impressive peak, with the opening day collection predicted to touch a massive 13 crore rupees. This figure would mark the largest-ever opening day for Siva Karthikeyan and establish a record for medium-budget films in the region.

Excitement is not limited to Tamil Nadu; other territories are also experiencing strong booking trends. Notably, Amaran has gained attention in Telugu-speaking areas, hinting at a promising start there. Internationally, the film is set to break barriers as well, with overseas projections estimating an opening of over a million dollars.

Collectively, the worldwide box office is on track for an astounding 30 crore rupees on day one—an achievement virtually unheard of for films in this budget range.
Amaran’s success reflects a shift in audience preference, showcasing a growing appreciation for realistic, inspirational narratives that honor military heroes. This strong initial reception illustrates that with compelling content and a respectful tribute, even biopics can defy box-office odds and captivate a diverse audience.
