Box office collection: Sivakarthikeyan-Murugadoss's 'Madharasi' struggles to impress

Entertainment Sep 17, 2025

"Madharasi," the latest Tamil film starring Sivakarthikeyan and directed by AR Murugadoss, came out swinging with a strong first weekend—earning ₹13.65cr on day one and over ₹37cr by Sunday.
But after that, things cooled off fast, with collections dropping sharply from Monday.

'Madharasi' fails to excite audiences

Even with a lineup featuring Biju Menon, Vikranth, Prem Kumar, and Monisha Vijay alongside Sivakarthikeyan, the film hasn't managed to keep audiences hooked.
By Day 12 in India, "Madharasi" reached ₹58.7cr but still hasn't crossed the ₹60cr mark—a letdown considering all the hype around this star-studded team-up.
