Suriya’s latest outing Scene is holding its ground pretty well. Directed by Jithu Madhavan, the Tamil-Telugu bilingual released on 6 November and has already pulled in a solid worldwide gross of ₹149.55 crore in just four days. It’s sitting just short of the ₹150 crore mark, and the numbers look healthy across both India and overseas markets.
Made on a reported budget of around ₹125 crore, the film has already recovered a big chunk of its cost. India’s contribution so far stands at ₹98.05 crore gross (₹84.40 crore nett), while overseas has added ₹51.50 crore. That’s a healthy 34% share from international markets, which is impressive for a South Indian film this early in its run.
Here’s the day-wise India gross breakdown:
- Day 1 (Friday, 6 Nov): ₹22.25 crore (6,167 shows, 55% occupancy)
- Day 2 (Saturday, 7 Nov): ₹23.65 crore (5,687 shows, 62.5% occupancy)
- Day 3 (Sunday, 8 Nov): ₹27.45 crore (6,001 shows, 70.7% occupancy)
- Day 4 (Monday, 9 Nov): ₹24.70 crore (5,801 shows, 65.9% occupancy)
On Day 4 the film collected ₹21.25 crore nett in India. That’s a modest 10.1% drop from Sunday’s peak of ₹23.65 crore nett pretty respectable for a Monday, especially right after the festive weekend. Tamil version did the heavy lifting with ₹17.85 crore from 4,378 shows, while the Telugu version contributed ₹3.40 crore from 1,423 shows.
Overall occupancy stayed strong at 65.9%, and the film sold an estimated 15.78 lakh tickets on Monday alone. Total tickets sold across four days have crossed 62.78 lakh. Tamil Nadu continues to lead the charge. On Day 4 alone the state contributed around ₹14.65 crore gross. Kerala, Andhra Pradesh-Telangana and Karnataka also put up decent numbers. Across four days the film has played more than 23,650 shows in India.
Overseas added another ₹5 crore on Day 4, taking the international total past the ₹50 crore mark. Positive word of mouth seems to be helping the film maintain decent holds even as the initial weekend rush settles. With the India gross already near ₹100 crore and worldwide hovering just under ₹150 crore, Scene is looking set for a steady run in the coming days.
