‘Madharasi’ Box Office Day 9: Sivakarthikeyan’s Action Thriller Holds Steady on Second Weekend

Mumbai, September 14, 2025 – Sivakarthikeyan’s latest film, ‘Madharasi’, is showing its power at the box office. The film has completed nine days in cinemas. And it is holding its own.

The action thriller, directed by A. R. Murugadoss, had a very strong first weekend. It then saw a drop in collections on weekdays. But now, it has picked up pace again on its second weekend. This is a very good sign for the film’s success.

Madharasi Box Office Journey So Far

‘Madharasi’ was released on Friday, September 5, 2025. It had a fantastic start.

On its opening day, the film earned a big number, around Rs 13.65 crore. The first weekend was also very strong. The film made Rs 12.10 crore on Saturday and Rs 11.40 crore on Sunday. This gave the film a total of nearly Rs 37 crore in just three days.

But the real test for any film is the weekdays. ‘Madharasi’ saw a big drop on Monday. It earned only Rs 4.15 crore. The collections continued to fall on Tuesday and Wednesday. This was a concern for many people in the film industry. The first week’s total collection was around Rs 49 crore. It was a good number, but it showed that the film was losing its audience.

Madharasi Strong Second Weekend

But ‘Madharasi’ is fighting back. It has started its second weekend on a positive note. On Friday, the 8th day of its release, it earned around Rs 1.8 crore. This was a good number, even if it was less than in the earlier days. The film needed to show growth on its second Saturday. And it did.

On Saturday, the 9th day, the film collected an estimated Rs 1.35 crore. While the collection is lower than the previous day, it is a sign that the film is holding steady. The total collection for ‘Madharasi’ in India is now over Rs 53 crore. This is a big win for Sivakarthikeyan. It shows that he is a big star who can bring people to the cinema.

What is Working for ‘Madharasi’?

There are a few reasons why ‘Madharasi’ is holding strong.

• Sivakarthikeyan’s Star Power: Sivakarthikeyan has a huge fan base. His fans love him. They came to watch the film in large numbers. He has been praised for his action role in the film. The film is also special because it is directed by A.R. Murugadoss. This combination has created a lot of buzz.

• Positive Word-of-Mouth: The film has received mixed reviews from critics. But the audience feedback has been good. People are talking about the action scenes and the story. The film’s second-weekend performance shows that people who saw the film are recommending it to their friends and family. This is very important for a film’s success.

• No Major Competition: ‘Madharasi’ was released with some other films. But none of them is a big threat. The film got a good number of screens. And it is now getting the audience’s attention. This has helped it earn good money.

The big test for ‘Madharasi’ is today, Sunday. It is the 10th day of its release. The film is expected to show a big jump in collections today. If it can earn a good amount, it will set a new record. The film has a chance to cross the Rs 75 crore mark soon. This will make it a big hit.

The success of ‘Madharasi’ is a good lesson for the film industry. It shows that a good story, a strong star, and good marketing can make a film a big hit.
