'Madharaasi' box office collection: Sivakarthikeyan movie seals Rs 30 crore club status on Day 3!

AR Murugadoss's directorial 'Madharaasi', also spelt as 'Madharasi', earned another Rs 3.25 crore across India net on its third day, reports showed. However, the numbers are not complete as afternoon and evening shows remain to be counted on Sunday—a weekly day off for the public! 

 

The forenoon collection has taken the net India collection of 'Madharaasi' to Rs 29 crore, and the Tamil action flick is set to ease past the Rs 30 crore mark today. Sacnilk reported an occupancy of close to 40% for morning shows in theatres showing the Tamil version of the movie.

 

On Friday, its first day of release, the Sivakarthikeyan film earned a net collection of Rs 13.65 crore across India. Out of this, the original Tamil version contributed the most with Rs 12 crore, while the Telugu and Hindi versions collected Rs 1.55 crore and Rs 0.1 crore respectively, Sacnilk revealed. On the second day, 'Madharaasi' managed Rs 12.1 crore net in India. The Tamil version once again dominated with Rs 10.9 crore, while the Telugu version added Rs 1.1 crore to the overall total on Saturday. The same day, the movie's production house, Sri Lakshmi Movies, said that more than six lakh tickets were sold on the BookMyShow app across all languages.

 

Sivakarthikeyan plays a trauma-riddled yet empowered hero in a film with some neatly done high-octane action sequences, a self-aware narrative, and surprising merits that overshadow its minor flaws.

 

Besides Sivakarthikeyan, 'Madharaasi' also stars Rukmini Vasanth, Vidyut Jammwal, Biju Menon, Vikranth Santhosh, Monisha Vijay, Thalaivasal Vijay, Rishi Rithvik, Prem Kumar, and Shabeer Kallarakkal. The music is by Anirudh Ravichander.
