Madharaasi box office collection day 6: AR Murugadoss’ film with Sivakarthikeyan, Rukmini Vasanth and Vidyut Jammwal in lead roles had a lot of promise. The film presented Sivakarthikeyan in an action hero avatar, and although the actor’s performance has won over fans, that has not translated into box office gold so far. Madharaasi, which released in theatres last Friday on September 5, has not crossed the ₹50 crore mark in India.
