Idli Kadai hit screens on October 1 amid decent hype, thanks to Dhanush stepping back into directing after a gap and the buzz around its simple yet relatable plot.
Made on a budget of about 100 crores, it opened strong with around 10.5 crores net on day one, helped by good advance bookings in key areas like Chennai and Coimbatore.
Collections stayed solid over the first few days, crossing 20 crores net by day three, but saw a dip mid week as the initial excitement cooled off. Overseas, it’s picked up nicely in places like Malaysia, adding to the overall pull.

Future Box Office Prediction
With the weekday drop kicking in, Idli Kadai could add another 5-7 crores net this week if word-of-mouth holds up, possibly pushing towards 50 crores net in India. No big clashes right now might help it linger, but it’ll need to pick up on the next weekend to hit break-even on that 100 crore budget.
Overall, Idli Kadai shows Dhanush can pull in crowds with a grounded story, even if it’s not smashing records. It’s a win for feel-good cinema in a sea of big action flicks, and fans are hoping it steadies out for a decent run.
