Overview

  • Early trade reports peg Day 3 India net at about Rs 5.5 crore, taking Dhanush’s film to roughly Rs 26.25 crore and reflecting about a 50% slide from opening day.
  • Industry tracker Sacnilk estimated Day 1 at roughly Rs 10.5–11 crore and a two-day total near Rs 21.2 crore, with Tamil occupancy later dropping to 35.96% on Day 3 and Chennai leading reported shows.
  • The theatrical run faces pressure from Kantara Chapter 1, which is dominating screens in its opening stretch, according to current box office coverage.
  • Producer Dawn Pictures warned that pirated or leaked copies will be taken down and that strict legal action will follow for those promoting or distributing such content.
  • Dhanush thanked audiences on X for the response, as reviews range from critiques of predictability to praise for an emotionally warm, family-driven drama.
