| Day 2 [02 October 2025] | ₹9.75 Crore |
| Day 3 [03 October 2025] | ₹5.6 Crore |

Idli Kadai Overseas Box Office Collection
Overseas markets contributed around ₹10 crore so far. This includes Tamil diaspora centres and standard overseas circuits
| First Weekend | Overseas Collection |
|---|---|
| 01 October 2025 – 05 October 2025 | ₹7.1 Crore |
This is a modest number for a star film with a pan-India push. The overseas performance was stronger in markets with a large Tamil audience. But compared to big pan-India hits, the numbers are small. If overseas picks up in week two, the worldwide total could inch closer to healthier levels.
| Weekdays | Overseas Collection |
|---|---|
| 06 October 2025 | ₹1.9 Crore |
| 07 October 2025 | ₹0.15 Crore |
| 08 October 2025 | ₹0.2 Crore |
| 09 October 2025 | ₹0.35 Crore |
| 10 October 2025 | ₹0.30 Crore |
| Total Overseas | ₹10 Crore |
What the numbers mean for the makers
The film was made on a reported budget of ₹104 crore. Against that figure, a worldwide gross of ₹64.05 crore after 10 days indicates the film is below its production cost on theatrical gross terms. Even more so when we consider distributor and exhibitor shares. Typically, producers get a portion of gross — not the full amount — so theatrical recovery will need a longer run or strong ancillary income (OTT, satellite, music rights).
In simple words, the film still needs a big uplift to break even on theatrical earnings alone. It needs sustained box office in week two and beyond. It also needs good revenue from non-theatrical sources. Marketing spends and print & advertising are usually extra, which adds pressure on the final profit.
Idli Kadai Day-wise trend and occupancy
Idli Kadai Day-wise occupancy tracking shows a classic pattern. A strong opening weekend was followed by weekday dips.
Day-to-day drops were steeper outside Tamil Nadu. The family and rural circuits helped keep numbers steady. Week one ended with a respectable cume. Day 10 added modest earnings, but not enough to call it a sustained hit. Analysts say the film will live or fade based on word-of-mouth and new releases in the coming weeks.
Idli Kadai Comparison and Context
Many recent regional films have shown that long legs and steady holds can recover larger budgets. But that needs strong audience love and repeat viewings. Idli Kadai’s current run is mixed. The opening was promising. The follow-up days were weaker. With a ₹104 crore budget, the film faces an uphill task. Analysts will closely watch weekend two collections. Success may depend on positive word-of-mouth and a clear run at key centres.
