Parasakthi Box Office: Sivakarthikeyan's Political Action Drama Headed To Finish Below Madharasi

Chennai, January 21 - Sivakarthikeyan's much-anticipated political action drama Parasakthi is facing a tough run at the box office as its momentum continues to slow down during the working weekdays. Despite a respectable opening period, the film has struggled to sustain footfalls, with collections witnessing a steady decline across domestic markets. Directed by Sudha Kongara, Parasakthi has grossed around 82 crore worldwide so far, and the daily numbers have dropped significantly, indicating that the film is nearing the end of its theatrical run. Mixed word of mouth has impacted its box office prospects, especially when compared to Sivakarthikeyan's recent successful outings. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Last year's Madharasi ended its run as an average grosser, despite huge expectations. The movie, however, still managed to clock almost 100 crores gross worldwide as it closed its theatrical run with 98.75 crores. Parasakthi, on the other hand, may struggle to even cross the actor's last release. Given the current trend, it looks extremely challenging for Parasakthi to reach or surpass Madharasi's worldwide total. Unless the film witnesses an unexpected surge in collections, it is likely to conclude its theatrical journey below the 100 crore mark, making Madharasi the better-performing Sivakarthikeyan film at the box office among the two.

Following a sensational run at the box office in 2025, multi-talented actor-director Pradeep Ranganathan is gearing up for his most ambitious project yet. According to latest reports, Pradeep will be directing and starring in a futuristic, mega-budget sci-fi actioner produced by the prestigious AGS Entertainment. The film is set to feature a high-profile ensemble, with popular actresses Sreeleela and Meenakshi Chaudhary officially coming on board as the female leads. This project marks a significant scale-up for Pradeep, transitioning from his signature youth-centric entertainers to a high-concept, technically advanced genre. This announcement comes on the heels of Pradeep's massive success last year, where he emerged as one of the most bankable stars in South cinema. In 2025, his film Dragon, directed by Ashwath Marimuthu, turned into a box office juggernaut.Dragon performed exceptionally well across territories, grossing over ₹151.83 crore worldwide and proving his massive pull among family and youth audiences alike.

With the backing of AGS Entertainment and a powerhouse cast including Sreeleela and Meenakshi, this upcoming sci-fi spectacle is already being touted as one of the most anticipated releases of the coming year. The casting of Sreeleela and Meenakshi Chaudhary adds significant star power to the project, with both actresses having recently made a major impact in Kollywood. For Sreeleela, this sci-fi venture marks her second major Tamil outing following her highly successful debut in the period drama Parasakthi.

Meanwhile, Meenakshi Chaudhary is no stranger to large-scale Tamil productions, having played the female lead opposite Thalapathy Vijay in the 2024 blockbuster The Greatest of All Time (GOAT). Produced by the same banner, AGS Entertainment, her role in GOAT as Srinidhi solidified her position in the Tamil market and makes this reunion with the production house even more noteworthy. Both actresses bring a proven track record of commercial success, ensuring the film has strong appeal across both Tamil and Telugu heartlands. The collaboration between Pradeep Ranganathan and AGS Entertainment has evolved into one of the most bankable partnerships in the industry. This upcoming project marks their third major outing together, following the massive success of the youth-hit Love Today and the 2025 blockbuster Dragon. Producer Archana Kalpathi's continued trust in Pradeep's directorial vision highlights the studio's confidence in his ability to deliver high-return content. By moving from mid-range budgets to this high-stakes sci-fi venture, the duo is clearly aiming to set a new benchmark for production values in South Indian cinema.

According to early estimates, Parasakthi has collected approximately ₹12.35 crore India Net and ₹14.75 crore India Gross on its opening day, while the overseas collection is around 10 crore. It is important to note that these figures are based on initial tracking and early estimates; the final figures may vary slightly as official data from all territories is consolidated. The film recorded an impressive overall Tamil occupancy of around 62.79% on Saturday, with night shows peaking at nearly 79%, indicating strong word-of-mouth that could propel the film through the rest of the Pongal week.

Produced by Aakash Baskaran of Dawn Pictures, the film boasts high production values with music composed by G. V.Prakash Kumar and cinematography by the veteran Ravi K. Chandran.

Vijay's Jana Nayagan Postponed: A Big Advantage For Sivakarthikeyan-Starrer Parasakthi

Chennai, January 7 - Thalapathy Vijay's much-anticipated political action drama Jana Nayagan has officially been postponed, and the development could turn out to be a massive advantage for Sivakarthikeyan's upcoming film Parasakthi, which is scheduled to release on January 10 amid solid buzz. Over the past few days, multiple reports have suggested that Jana Nayagan might miss its planned release date due to ongoing censorship issues. After CBFC failed to provide a certificate with only a day left before release, the makers approached the Madras High Court, which has reserved its order, which will only be pronounced on January 9, on the same day as Jana Nayagan is scheduled for release. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) With Jana Nayagan getting postponed, Sivakarthikeyan's Parasakthi, which is also facing censor delay, stands to benefit the most. The film has already created history with its trailer, which emerged as the most-viewed Tamil trailer in the first 24 hours, beating Jana Nayagan's earlier record. This strong digital response clearly indicates massive audience interest. With no major Vijay release around the same window, Parasakthi could enjoy a cleaner box office run, especially in Tamil Nadu, where clashes between top stars often split screens and footfalls. A Vijay film typically dominates theatres with maximum screen allocation and show counts. In the absence of Jana Nayagan, Parasakthi will now secure much better screen penetration across Tamil Nadu. Sivakarthikeyan has been steadily consolidating his position as a bankable star, and Parasakthi appears to be another crucial step in that journey. With mounting hype, record-breaking trailer views, and now a possible clash-free release window, especially in Tamil Nadu, the film is shaping up to be one of the biggest Tamil releases of the year.

Parasakthi Trailer: Sivakarthikeyan-starrer Beats Vijay's Jana Nayagan To Emerge Most Viewed Tamil Trailer In First 24 Hours

Chennai, January 5 - Tamil star Sivakarthikeyan has delivered a massive digital record as the trailer of his upcoming film Parasakthi has emerged as the most viewed Tamil movie trailer on YouTube in the first 24 hours, beating Thalapathy Vijay's Jana Nayagan's record on the same day. The trailer of Parasakthi crossed 40+ million views on YouTube within its first 24 hours, setting a new all-time benchmark for Tamil cinema. Earlier, Vijay-starrer Jana Nayagan held the record for the biggest Tamil trailer launch on YouTube, having scored 34.4 million views in its first 24 hours. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) With this achievement, Sivakarthikeyan becomes the new record holder for the biggest Tamil trailer debut on YouTube, marking a major milestone in his career. Directed by Sudha Kongara, Parasakthi is a period political drama set against the backdrop of socio-political movements, and the trailer has struck a strong chord with audiences. The extraordinary response reflects the growing anticipation for the film, especially with its Pongal release clashing directly with Vijay's Jana Nayagan, making the festive box office battle even more exciting. Both films are releasing a day apart, with Jana Nayagan hitting theatres on January 9, followed by Parasakthi on January 10. Stay tuned...

Pan-India Power Report 2025: Kantara Ch 1 Mints 223 Cr in Hindi; A Reality Check for Southern Dubs in 2025 Bollywood

Pan-India Power Report 2025: Kantara Ch 1 Mints 223 Cr in Hindi; A Reality Check for Southern Dubs in 2025

2025 has been the year of the Pan India Reality Check. The Hindi audience has become ruthless embracing authentic rooted stories like Kantara with open arms while coldly rejecting generic mass actioners, even those starring heavyweights like Pawan Kalyan and Kamal Haasan. While Rishab Shetty emerged as the undisputed king of the Hindi box office this year, other highly anticipated projects like Lokesh Kanagaraj's Coolie and Suriya's Retro posted numbers that fell short of their astronomical pre release hype.From folklore to gangster dramas, here is the ultimate report card of how South Indian films performed in the Hindi belt this year. Movie Industry Hindi Net Collection Kantara: Chapter 1 Sandalwood ₹223.79 Cr Coolie Kollywood ₹37.23 Cr Game Changer Tollywood ₹32.93 Cr Mirai Tollywood ₹16.86 Cr Baahubali: The Epic Animation ₹6.94 Cr HIT: The Third Case Tollywood ₹4.11 Cr Kannappa Tollywood ₹3.98 Cr Lokah: Chapter 1 Mollywood ₹3.78 Cr They Call Him OG Tollywood ₹3.36 Cr L2: Empuraan Mollywood ₹2.59 Cr Thug Life Kollywood ₹1.70 Cr The Girlfriend Tollywood ₹ 0.60 Cr Madharasi Kollywood ₹0.50 Cr Retro Kollywood ₹ 0.49 Cr Daaku Maharaaj Tollywood ₹ 0.40 Cr Hari Hara Veera Mallu Tollywood ₹ 0.33 Cr Bad Girl Kollywood ₹0.06 Cr 1. Kantara:Chapter 1 Industry:Sandalwood (Kannada) Director:Rishab Shetty Star Cast:Rishab Shetty,Rukmini Vasanth
 The prequel to the 2022 divine blockbuster Kantara shattered ceilings. Delving deeper into the origins of the Panjurli Daiva during the Kadamba era, the film offered a visual spectacle that was both raw and grandiose. The Divine climax once again became a cultural talking point, driving repeat audiences in Maharashtra and the Hindi belt. It stands as the only true All Time Blockbuster from the South in Hindi this year. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) 2. Coolie Industry:Kollywood (Tamil) Director:Lokesh Kanagaraj Star Cast:Rajinikanth, Nagarjuna, Shruti Haasan, Soubin Shahir.
 The union of Thalaivar Rajinikanth and director Lokesh Kanagaraj was expected to set the screens on fire. A stylish gangster drama involving a gold-smuggling syndicate, the film had massive hype. However, the Hindi numbers (₹ 37.23 Cr) suggest it played more to the gallery of existing fans rather than breaking out to the neutral Hindi audience like Vikram or Jailer. 3.Game Changer Industry:Tollywood (Telugu) Director:S. Shankar Star Cast:Ram Charan, Kiara Advani.
 Coming off the global high of RRR, Ram Charan teamed up with the showman Shankar. While the film's political theme resonated in the South, the Hindi audience found the narrative slightly dated. ₹ 32.93 Cr is a respectable total but falls short of the expectations set for a Ram Charan and Shankar collaboration. 4.Mirai Industry:Tollywood (Telugu) Director:Karthik Ghattamaneni Star Cast:Teja Sajja, Ritika Nayak. 
The surprise package of the year. After HanuMan, Teja Sajja cemented his position with Mirai. Based on the legend of Ashoka's 9 secret books, this Super Yodha film connected well with kids and families, earning nearly ₹ 17 Cr purely on concept strength without a Tier-1 star. 5. Baahubali:The Epic Industry:Pan India (Re-release/Edit) Director:S.S. Rajamouli Star Cast:Prabhas,Anushka Shetty
 To celebrate the franchise's legacy, the makers released a special Single Film edit of the two part saga with remastered visuals.While die hard fans turned up, the ₹ 6.95 Cr collection proves that the audience prefers new content over nostalgia trips in theaters. 6. HIT:The Third Case Industry:Tollywood (Telugu) Director:Sailesh Kolanu Star Cast:Nani, Srinidhi Shetty.
 Nani entered the HIT universe as Arjun Sarkar. While the film was a critical success in Telugu, the dark, gritty thriller genre has a limited ceiling in the Hindi dubbed market unless backed by massive marketing, reflected in its niche ₹ 4.11 Cr collection. 7. Kannappa Industry:Tollywood (Telugu) Director:Mukesh Kumar Singh Star Cast:Vishnu Manchu,Preity Mukhundhan (Cameos: Prabhas, Akshay Kumar, Mohanlal).
 Despite a star-studded lineup of cameos including Prabhas and Akshay Kumar, this mythological drama starring Vishnu Manchu failed to generate buzz in the Hindi belt, collecting a meager ₹ 3.98 Cr. 8. Lokah:Chapter 1 - Chandra Industry:Mollywood(Malayalam) Director:Dominic Arun Star Cast:Kalyani Priyadarshan, Naslen, Sandy. 
Malayalam cinema's ambitious entry into the superhero genre! Starring Kalyani Priyadarshan, the film was praised for its VFX and unique world-building. For a Malayalam film without a traditional Mass Hero, earning ₹ 3.78 Cr in Hindi is a positive sign of growth. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) 9.They Call Him OG Industry:Tollywood (Telugu) Director:Sujeeth Star Cast:Pawan Kalyan, Priyanka Mohan.
 The biggest shocker of the list. Pawan Kalyan's gangster drama, despite featuring Emraan Hashmi as the antagonist, crashed in Hindi with just ₹ 3.36 Cr. It highlights that Pawan Kalyan's stardom is still strictly regional compared to peers like Prabhas or Allu Arjun. 10. L2:Empuraan Industry:Mollywood (Malayalam) Director:Prithviraj Sukumaran Star Cast:Mohanlal, Manju Warrier,Prithviraj. The sequel to Lucifer. While a massive blockbuster in Kerala, the complex political drama of Empuraan proved too dense for the mass Hindi audience, collecting just ₹ 2.59 Cr. 11. Thug Life Industry:Kollywood (Tamil) Director:Mani Ratnam Star Cast:Kamal Haasan, Trisha Krishnan,Silambarasan TR.
 The reunion of legends Mani Ratnam and Kamal Haasan after decades was a cinematic event, but sadly, only for Tamil Nadu. The Hindi version was a non-starter (₹ 1.7 Cr), proving that Class Classics rarely translate to Mass Hindi Box Office. 12.The Girlfriend
 Industry:Tollywood (Telugu)
 Director:Rahul Ravindran
 Star Cast:Rashmika Mandanna, Dheekshith Shetty.
 
A solo lead thriller by Rashmika Mandanna. While she is a National Crush, the film's niche subject matter restricted its appeal, leading to a washout in the Hindi dubbed version.
 13.Madharasi
 Director:A.R.Murugadoss
 Star Cast:Sivakarthikeyan, Vidyut Jammwal.
 
Despite being directed by A.R.Murugadoss (known for Ghajini) and starring Vidyut Jammwal (a known face in Hindi), this film was a disaster in Hindi. It seems the audience has moved past the 2000s style of commercial filmmaking.
 14.Retro Industry:Kollywood (Tamil) Director:Karthik Subbaraj Star Cast:Suriya, Pooja Hegde.
 Also known as Suriya 44, this stylish actioner by Karthik Subbaraj was expected to be Suriya's big theatrical comeback in Hindi. The shocking collection of less than ₹ 50 Lakhs indicates a complete failure in marketing or release strategy in the North. 15.Daaku Maharaaj
 Industry:Tollywood (Telugu)
 Director:Bobby Kolli
 Star Cast:Nandamuri Balakrishna, Bobby Deol

 Even the presence of Bobby Deol (fresh off Animal fame) couldn't save this Balakrishna mass entertainer in Hindi. The over the top action style of NBK clearly has zero takers in the Hindi belt in 2025.
 16. Hari Hara Veera Mallu
 Industry:Tollywood (Telugu)
 Director:Krish Jagarlamudi,Jyoti Krishna
 Star Cast:Pawan Kalyan, Bobby Deol.
 
A delayed period drama that felt stale upon arrival. With collections of just ₹33 Lakhs, it stands as a significant commercial underperformer for a star of Pawan Kalyan's stature.
 (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) 17.Bad Girl Industry:Kollywood (Tamil) Director:Varsha Bharath Star Cast:Anjali Sivaraman.
 A small budget coming of age drama produced by heavyweights like Vetrimaaran. While critically acclaimed in festivals, it was virtually non-existent at the Hindi box office. Ultimately, 2025 will be remembered as the year the Hindi market transitioned from being a star reliant territory to a landscape defined by audience discernment. The staggering gap between Kantara (₹223 Cr) and generic mass entertainers highlights a significant shift in viewer preferences. When highly anticipated projects featuring legends struggle to gain traction while a rooted folklore thriller creates history, the trend is undeniable.The era of blind loyalty to formulaic tropes is fading, making way for a new chapter of content supremacy.

Parasakthi Preponed: Sivakarthikeyan Starrer Set for a Massive Clash with Vijay's Jana Nayagan;

According to reports, the makers of Parasakthi have preponed the film's theatrical release to January 10, 2026 (Saturday). The Sivakarthikeyan starrer was originally slated for a January 14 release, but it is now reported to arrive just a day after Thalapathy Vijay's Jana Nayagan. This strategic move sets up one of the biggest box office battles in recent history, as the film will now land just 24 hours after Thalapathy Vijay's final film, Jana Nayagan, which is scheduled for January 9. According to the latest reports from overseas and domestic distributors, Parasakthi is all set for a grand worldwide release with equal showcasing alongside Jana Nayagan. This ensures that despite the heavy competition, Sivakarthikeyan's milestone 25th film will have a significant screen count across all major territories. The production team is reportedly ecstatic after a private screening of the film. Insiders describe the project as a SURESHOT theatrical winner. To keep the narrative tight and engaging, the film has been locked with a crisp runtime of 2 hours and 35 minutes (155 minutes), a duration considered ideal for a high octane political drama. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) In a bid to capture the massive Telugu market, the Telugu version of Parasakthi is also planned to release first, strategically arriving ahead of the heavy slew of local Sankranti releases. By moving to January 10, the film aims to capitalize on the extended festive weekend and the massive footfalls expected during the Pongal/Sankranti holidays. With Jana Nayagan carrying the Final Film emotional weight for Vijay fans and Parasakthi representing a career best effort for Sivakarthikeyan under Sudha Kongara's direction, the January weekend is poised to be historic.

Year Ender 2025: Top 10 Kollywood Films by Box Office Performance

It's a wrap on 2025, and the Kollywood box office has set new benchmarks with a HUGE cumulative total from its top contenders. The ten highest-grossing films of the year alone have raked in over ₹ 1600 crores worldwide, signaling a massively successful run for the industry. While Coolie led this charge with a historic ₹ 518 Cr, the year also saw a healthy number of films crossing the coveted ₹ 100 crore milestone, including GoodBadUgly, Dragon, Vidaamuyarchi and Dude. From big-ticket action extravaganzas to unique concepts, the audience has given a clear verdict. Here's a deep dive into the top 10 Tamil films that made the biggest impact at the box office in 2025. table td { word-wrap: break-word; word-break: break-word; } @media (max-width: 480px) { table td:first-child { width: 40% !important; /* give more breathing room */ } } Coolie Director Lokesh Kanagaraj Lead Cast Superstar Rajinikanth, Nagarjuna Akkineni, Soubin Shahir, Upendra, Shruti Haasan, Sathyaraj, Aamir Khan Worldwide Gross ₹ 518 Cr Verdict Commercial Success Check Out the Day-Wise Box Office Breakdown → When his friend is murdered by a ruthless smuggling syndicate, a former union leader named Deva is forced to confront his violent past and infiltrate the gang to protect his friend's daughter and expose a global human trafficking ring. The story of Coolie's box office is one of two halves. The primary driver for its No. 1 spot was the explosive combination of Rajinikanth's unparalleled star power and Lokesh Kanagaraj's modern filmmaking style, which guaranteed a historic opening weekend. However, the film's biggest hurdle was its own monumental budget. A collection of ₹518 Cr, while huge, was not enough to generate the theatrical profits needed for a clean Hit or Blockbuster tag. In essence, Coolie was a front-loaded success—a commercial win for its producers thanks to pre-release deals, but a theatrical performer that couldn't fully outrun its massive cost. Good Bad Ugly Director Adhik Ravichandran Lead Cast Ajith Kumar, Arjun Das, Trisha Krishnan Worldwide Gross ₹ 248.25 Cr Verdict Hit Check Out the Day-Wise Box Office Breakdown → The plot centers on Ajith Kumar, a retired and notorious gangster known as Red Dragon, who is forced to return to his violent past after his son is wrongfully framed and arrested in Spain. The film's impressive ₹250 Cr worldwide collection stands as a strong testament to Ajith Kumar’s enduring star power. His ability to pull massive audiences ensured the film debuted high on the year-end charts. Powered by solid pre-release buzz and a strong fan following, the movie enjoyed a successful overall run and is regarded as a clear hit. Dragon Director Ashwath Marimuthu Lead Cast Pradeep Ranganathan, Anupama Parameswaran, Kayadu Lohar Worldwide Gross ₹ 150.52 Cr Verdict Blockbuster Check Out the Day-Wise Box Office Breakdown → After being branded a failure by his ex-girlfriend, Ragavan uses forged documents to secure a high-paying job. This deception allows him to live a seemingly successful life until his actions lead to a former classmate's misfortune. Overwhelmed by guilt, Ragavan confesses the truth, goes to prison, and upon release, rebuilds his life honestly as a food delivery agent, ultimately finding redemption and true love. While the top two spots on the list are held by industry titans, the story of the year's most profitable and resounding success belongs to Dragon. Collecting over four times its budget, the film is a bonafide Blockbuster. Vidaamuyarchi Director Magizh Thirumeni Lead Cast Ajith Kumar, Trisha Krishnan, Arjun Sarja, Regina Cassandra Worldwide Gross ₹ 135.65 Cr Verdict Flop Check Out the Day-Wise Box Office Breakdown → Vidaamuyarchi is a thriller about a couple, Arjun and Kayal, whose road trip in Azerbaijan to visit Kayal's parents turns terrifying when she is abducted after a car breakdown. The film follows Arjun as he navigates a dangerous journey to rescue his wife, facing deception and a ruthless gang along the way. While Vidaamuyarchi landed in the year's top 5 thanks to Ajith Kumar's massive opening, it was a significant commercial failure. Its colossal budget of over ₹225 Cr dwarfed its final ₹135.65 Cr collection, leading to substantial losses. The film failed to sustain its run beyond the initial fan-fueled weekend, as negative word-of-mouth about a convoluted screenplay halted its momentum. Dude Director Keerthiswaran Lead Cast Pradeep Ranganathan, Mamitha Baiju, R. Sarathkumar Worldwide Gross ₹ 113.25 Cr Verdict Blockbuster Check Out the Day-Wise Box Office Breakdown → Dude is a romantic comedy about cousins Agan and Kural, whose relationship is complicated when Agan confesses his love for Kural, but then an arranged marriage for Kural with someone else throws their lives into chaos. Agan must then decide between his own love for Kural and Kural's happiness. The year 2025 will be remembered for the phenomenal rise of Pradeep Ranganathan, and Dude is the film that cemented his status as the industry's new golden boy. Following the massive success of Dragon, this film proved his box office draw was no fluke. Collecting nearly four times its modest budget, Dude is another resounding Blockbuster, making Pradeep the only actor of the year to deliver two such profitable ventures. Madharaasi Director A. R. Murugadoss Lead Cast Sivakarthikeyan, Rukmini Vasanth, Vidyut Jammwal Worldwide Gross ₹ 98.48 Cr Verdict Flop Check Out the Day-Wise Box Office Breakdown → An NIA officer recruits Raghuram, a suicidal man suffering from Fregoli delusion, to infiltrate a gun-smuggling syndicate. The film blends high-octane action with Raghuram's psychological struggle as he is manipulated into stopping a dangerous crime lord. Despite the powerhouse combo of A.R. Murugadoss and Sivakarthikeyan, Madharaasi collapsed under its massive ₹180 Cr budget. Failing to cross even the ₹100 Cr mark, it stands as a major commercial disaster, proving that big names cannot save a project when the costs outweigh the content's appeal. Thug Life Director Mani Ratnam Lead Cast Kamal Haasan, Silambarasan TR, Trisha Krishnan Worldwide Gross ₹ 97.25 Cr Verdict Flop Check Out the Day-Wise Box Office Breakdown → Presumed dead, notorious mafia kingpin Rangaraya Sakthivel returns to confront a violent past involving his brother and his adopted son, Amar. The narrative explores a complex father-son dynamic driven by power, betrayal, and revenge. The highly anticipated reunion of the Nayakan duo, Mani Ratnam and Kamal Haasan, turned into a colossal box office disaster. Burdened by an astronomical ₹250 Cr budget, the film failed to cross even the ₹100 Cr mark. Despite a star-studded cast including Simbu and Trisha, the film faced outright rejection from the audience. Idly Kadai Director Dhanush Lead Cast Dhanush, Nithya Menen, Arun Vijay, Shalini Pandey Worldwide Gross ₹ 71.86 Cr Verdict Hit Check Out the Day-Wise Box Office Breakdown → Murugan, a third-generation vendor, fights to protect his family's humble legacy, Sivanesan's Idli Kadai, when a corporate gourmet chain opens across the street. It is a battle of tradition and dignity against aggressive commercialism in a small hill town. Dhanush's fourth directorial venture earned strong critical praise for its grounded storytelling and also performed decently at the box office. Despite its steep ₹100 Cr budget, the film’s ₹71.86 Cr gross ensured a respectable run driven by word of mouth. It stands as a well-made film that found its audience and delivered a fair commercial outcome. Retro Director Karthik Subbaraj Lead Cast Suriya, Pooja Hegde Worldwide Gross ₹ 96.97 Cr Verdict Commercial Success Check Out the Day-Wise Box Office Breakdown → Set in the 1990s, former enforcer Paari attempts to leave his violent past behind for a peaceful life with his wife. However, when his history catches up to him, he is forced into exile on a remote island, where he eventually embraces his fighting skills to save the locals from a tyrant. Despite the exciting pairing of Suriya and Karthik Subbaraj, Retro underperformed at the box office. With a modest ₹60 Cr budget, the film grossed ₹96.97 Cr, falling just short of the ₹100 Cr milestone. While the controlled budget prevented a financial disaster, the theatrical returns were minimal for investors. Tourist Family Director Abishan Jeevinth Lead Cast Sasikumar, Simran Worldwide Gross ₹ 86.25 Cr Verdict Blockbuster Check Out the Day-Wise Box Office Breakdown → A Sri Lankan family living illegally in India attempts to build a new life while evading authorities. Their fresh start is threatened when a past connection to a bombing resurfaces, jeopardizing their acceptance in the neighborhood. The Sleeper Hit That Stole the Show - The year's most profitable venture, earning over ₹86 Cr on a meager ₹7 Cr budget. Relying purely on glowing word-of-mouth rather than star power, this grounded drama proved that compelling storytelling and strong performances can triumph over high-budget spectacles.
