Chennai, July 29 - Tamil star Dhanush scored a much deserving success with his latest action thriller Raayan after the excellent 3-day opening weekend at the worldwide box office. The A-rated blockbuster scored close to 70 crores gross collection, already one of the highest-grossing Tamil movies of the year.

Directed and headlined by Dhanush, Raayan witnessed a continued jump over the weekend at the domestic box office, which is not a regular case for South Indian films. With approximately 49 crores gross collection, the movie scored the second biggest opening weekend for a Tamil title of 2024, behind only Indian 2.



In Tamil Nadu, Raayan minted approximately 34 crores gross, followed by approximately 5.50+ crores in Telugu states (Andhra Pradesh and Telengana). The rest of the domestic market contributed approximately 10 crores gross collection.

At the overseas box office, the movie has had a superb weekend with approximately 22 crores gross. This led to approximately 71+ crores worldwide cume, making it the 6th highest-grossing Tamil movie of 2024. The worldwide opening weekend of Raayan has almost wiped out Dhanush's last film, Captain Miller's entire run of 75 crores gross.

Raayan will cross Captain Miller and Ayaalan (76.60 crores gross approx.) by the first Monday or Tuesday to become the 4th highest-grossing Tamil film of the year. By next weekend, it will cross all but Indian 2 to emerge as the second-biggest-grosser and will eventually look to down the Kamal Haasan-starrer to reach the top in the long run.
