‘Madharasi’ Box Office collection day 2: AR Murugadoss’ film starring Sivakarthikeyan crosses Rs 25 crore mark in India

AR Murugadoss’ latest action-drama ‘Madharasi’, starring Sivakarthikeyan and Rukmini Vasanth, has opened big at the box office. Released on 5 September 2025, the film managed to shine even though it clashed with several big releases.

While it did witness a slight dip on its second day, the movie has still crossed the Rs 25 crore mark within just two days.

‘Madharasi’ makes a strong opening day impact

On its very first day, as per Sacnilk, ‘Madharasi’ made a splash with collections of Rs 13.65 crore net in India across all languages. This strong start helped the film stand tall against other big titles that released on the same weekend. The buzz around the movie, combined with Sivakarthikeyan’s growing fan base, gave it a solid kick-off.

Second day collections show slight dip

According to early estimates by Sacnilk, the film collected around Rs 11.75 crore net on its second day. This slight dip from the opening day was expected, but the film continues to show steady momentum. With these figures, the total two-day collection now stands at Rs 25.40 crore net in India.

Worldwide earnings mark Sivakarthikeyan’s second-best opener

‘Madharasi’ has also performed impressively at the global box office. On its opening day, the film earned over Rs 21 crore gross worldwide, making it Sivakarthikeyan’s second-biggest opener so far.

His only bigger opener remains ‘Amaran’, which collected Rs 34.70 crore worldwide. In India alone, the film scored around Rs 16 crore gross, including more than Rs 12 crore from Tamil Nadu itself. These numbers highlight the strong pull Sivakarthikeyan enjoys in his home state and across the country. The good start was partly thanks to the strong advance bookings the film received. There was a late but powerful surge in ticket sales before release, which worked in its favour.

Alongside this, Sivakarthikeyan’s popularity with both family and youth audiences helped ‘Madharasi’ achieve such high numbers in its very first days.

‘Madharasi’ film star cast

Apart from Sivakarthikeyan and Rukmini Vasanth, the movie features a power-packed cast including Vidyut Jammwal, Biju Menon, Vikranth Santhosh, Monisha Vijay, Prem Kumar, Thalaivasal Vijay, Rishi Rithvik, and Shabeer Kallarakkal. The music has been composed by Anirudh Ravichander, whose energetic tunes add extra punch to the film’s thrilling action.

‘Madharasi’ plot

The plot of ‘Madharasi’ revolves around a police officer who is on a mission to stop a dangerous gang smuggling illegal weapons into Tamil Nadu. But the story goes beyond action. The character also fights his personal demons, making the journey an emotional one. The blend of high-octane chases and heartfelt moments gives the film both thrill and depth.

Early numbers positions film for better run

With over Rs 25 crore in just two days, ‘Madharasi’ has set itself up for a solid run at the box office. The film has already secured Sivakarthikeyan his second-biggest opener worldwide and is expected to continue pulling in crowds in the coming days.
