Madharaasi, starring Sivakarthikeyan in the lead role, along with Vidyut Jammwal and Rukmini Vasanth, is performing decently at the box office. The crime action film, directed by AR Murugadoss, began its box office run with Rs 12.30 crore and wrapped its opening week at Rs 49.35 crore gross at the Tamil box office. 

The Sivakarthikeyan starrer entered the second weekend with a 15% drop on Friday, adding Rs 2.85 crore to the tally. The total box office cume of Madharaasi has crossed the Rs 50 crore mark, now standing at Rs 51.80 crore gross in its home turf. 

Madharaasi needs better legs over the weekend

Backed by Sri Lakshmi Movies, Madharaasi should aim for a substantial jump on Saturday and Sunday to sail through a successful theatrical run. Its box office fate will be determined by its hold over the second weekend and then on the weekdays ahead. 

Based on current trends, the AR Murugadoss directorial is expected to witness significant drops post its second weekend. While Madharaasi is struggling at the box office, Sivakarthikeyan will be next seen in Parasakthi, slated to clash with Thalapathy Vijay’s Jana Nayagan in Pongal 2026.

Three new Hindi films – Ek Chatur Naar, Mannu Kya Karegga, and Heer Express – hit cinemas today. All three titles opened with low figures; however, Divya Khosla Kumar and Neil Nitin Mukesh starrer Ek Chatur Naar recorded a nominal lead. Take a look at the opening day collections of all three Hindi releases this weekend. 

Ek Chatur Naar leads Mannu Kya Karegga and Heer Express 

Ek Chatur Naar, directed by Umesh Shukla, opened with Rs 55 lakh net at the Indian box office. Set against the backdrop of Lucknow, the black comedy thriller managed to take a lead of Rs 5 crore over the two other releases. 

Mannu Kya Karegga and Heer Express, both featuring newcomers, posted an opening of Rs 50 lakh each on Day 1. While the former is a romantic comedy drama, starring debutantes Vyom and Saanchi Bindra in the lead, the latter is touted to be a family entertainer, which marked the acting debut of Divita Juneja. 

The combined opening day box office collection of Ek Chatur Naar, Mannu Kya Karegga, and Heer Express is Rs 1.55 crore net at the Indian box office. Interestingly, all three movies were aided by Buy-One-Get-One offers on the opening day. It is to be seen whether the makers will lift the BOGO offer on Saturday and Sunday or continue with the same for some initial push. 

All three titles rely on word-of-mouth and audience reception 

Ek Chatur Naar, Mannu Kya Karegga, and Heer Express need good growth over the weekend and then on the weekdays. Fun fact, both Ek Chatur Naar and Heer Express are helmed by the same director, Umesh Shukla, who is known for Oh My God! and 102 Not Out. 

The fate of all the moderate-budgeted movies with fresh faces relies heavily on their word-of-mouth and audience reception. It will be interesting to see if these titles managed to gain some good traction in the opening week.
