Suriya’s Scene is a super hit and has already crossed break-even. But with Ramayana dominating its key markets, a new career record now looks out of reach. The most realistic target in Tamil Nadu is ₹100 Cr.
Where Scene Stands (8 Days)
Tamil Nadu: ₹72 Cr
Worldwide: ₹215 Cr
Karuppu Remains Suriya’s Biggest
Karuppu is still the biggest grosser of Suriya’s career, with ₹160 Cr in Tamil Nadu and ₹320 Cr worldwide.
Scene got off to a better start than Karuppu, with a bigger opening day, opening weekend and first week. But Karuppu’s Tamil Nadu total is huge, and Scene has no chance of beating it there.
The Ramayana Impact
The biggest reason for the slowdown is Ramayana. The film has become the No.1 choice for audiences in Scene’s strongest markets, including Tamil Nadu, and that has hit Scene’s collections in a big way in its second week.
₹100 Cr in Tamil Nadu: Within Reach
Even with Ramayana around, ₹100 Cr in Tamil Nadu is very much possible for Scene. If it gets there, it will be only the second Suriya film to cross ₹100 Cr in Tamil Nadu, after Karuppu.
Karuppu Worldwide: A Huge Task
Beating Karuppu’s ₹320 Cr worldwide total is also going to be very tough. To make up for the gap in Tamil Nadu, Scene would need a massive lead over Karuppu in overseas and the rest of India, and that doesn’t look likely at the current pace.
Expected Closing
As of now, Scene is expected to finish its run at around ₹275 Cr worldwide. That would make it Suriya’s second-biggest grosser and a clear super hit, even though it won’t break Karuppu’s record.
