Weak Advance Sales Put Sivakarthikeyan’s Madharaasi on Track for a Soft Opening Day

A Rs 10 crore opening-day projection reflects muted demand versus Amaran.

Overview

  • BookMyShow pre-sales totaled 231,040 tickets, about 36% of Amaran’s advance on the platform.
  • Cinetrak estimated Tamil Nadu day-one advance gross at Rs 5.35 crore, roughly 46% below Amaran’s Rs 9.86 crore.
  • Trade analyst Ramesh Bala predicted around Rs 10 crore gross on opening day in India, with momentum hinging on word-of-mouth.
  • Madharaasi competes with The Conjuring: Last Rites in Chennai and Baaghi 4 in the Hindi market.
  • Reports place the budget near Rs 200 crore, heightening breakeven pressure that demands strong sustained collections.
