Madharaasi box office collection day 2: AR Murugadoss’ Sivakarthikeyan, Rukmini Vasanth and Vidyut Jammwal-starrer Madharaasi was released in theatres on 5 September to mixed reviews. After making a worldwide opening collection of ₹20 crore, the film saw a dip on its first Saturday, bringing in ₹22 crore net in India.
Madharaasi box office collection
According to Sacnilk, the dip on Saturday shows Madharaasi making an estimated ₹9.28 crore net in India, taking its total domestic collections to ₹22.88 crore. The film performed better in Tamil than Telugu, with a 51.78% occupancy versus 18.62%. However, the dip in collections on a weekend does not bode well for the film, which still has the weekdays to contend with.
Madharaasi made ₹13 crore net and ₹15.35 crore gross in India on its opening day. Adding the ₹5.15 crore from overseas, the film made ₹20.50 crore worldwide on its opening day. These numbers are less compared to the bumper opening of Sivakarthikeyan’s last film, Amaran, which got released last year, bringing in ₹21.40 crore net just in India and ₹34.70 crore worldwide.
