The second Monday is usually when we see how much staying power a film really has, and for Karuppu, the Day 11 numbers are looking quite steady. Based on early estimates, the film has now crossed the 150 Crore net mark in India. It is an important milestone that shows the movie is holding onto its audience well even after the initial rush of the first week. If we look at the raw data, the film collected a net of 5.90 Crore on Day 11 across 4,457 shows. While this represents a 60.0 percent drop compared to the previous day's net collection of 14.75 Crore, it is a very logical and expected trend for a working Monday following a massive second weekend. This takes the total India net collection to 154.75 Crore. On the gross front, the domestic total has reached 179.15 Crore, while the overseas market contributed another 1.00 Crore on Monday, pushing the total overseas gross to 68.00 Crore. When you combine these figures, Karuppu stands at a worldwide gross of 247.15 Crore. One of the most impressive aspects of this run is the ticket sales momentum. On its second Monday, Karuppu recorded approximately 100.84K ticket bookings on BookMyShow. To put this into perspective, we can compare it with previous blockbusters to understand the magnitude of this trend. While Jailer held a record with 126K sales on its second Monday, Karuppu’s performance of roughly 101K puts it right in the league of massive hits like The GOAT. Staying in the six-figure range for weekday ticket sales is a clear indicator of strong word-of-mouth and repeat audiences. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Breaking down the performance in national chains for the day, we see a steady flow of revenue. In the major multiplexes, the film collected about 32.8 Lakhs gross from approximately 22.4K tickets sold. If we look at the individual chain performance, PVR led the way with 23.2 Lakhs, followed by INOX with 7.7 Lakhs, and Cinepolis with 1.9 Lakhs. The total contribution from these three major chains aligns perfectly with the overall reported 32.8 Lakhs. Even with competition from Drishyam 3, which is also vying for screen time, Karuppu maintained a superior occupancy rate of around 14.5 percent in these chains compared to its competitor's 9.1 percent. Language-wise, the Tamil version continues to be the primary engine of growth. On Day 11, the Tamil 2D version recorded an overall occupancy of 26.6 percent. Chennai remains the stronghold with 46.0 percent occupancy across 562 shows, showing particular strength in the evening and night shows which hovered around 54 to 56 percent. Coimbatore also put up a strong fight with nearly 40 percent occupancy. The Telugu version is holding its own in pockets like Vizag-Visakhapatnam, which saw a healthy 21.5 percent occupancy, outperforming even Hyderabad which sat at 16.0 percent for its 290 shows. Bengaluru, a crucial melting pot for both languages, saw a combined effort with occupancy rates staying between 12 and 13 percent for both Tamil and Telugu screenings.This consistent performance has helped the film secure a top spot on the historical leaderboard for second Monday collections in Kollywood.

Speed-wise, films like Coolie, 2.0, and Leo remain the pace-setters, having achieved this global feat in just 3 days. They are followed by heavyweights like Jailer and The Greatest of All Time, which took 4 days, while Ponniyin Selvan - Part 1 crossed the line in 5 days. Karuppu is now on the verge of entering this prestigious circle. Based on early estimates, the film is expected to hit the milestone by its 12th day, placing it right alongside the steady performance of Amaran, which also reached the mark in 12 days. It is a significant achievement that highlights the film's sustained popularity across both domestic and international markets. Looking ahead, the film is on a clear trajectory to hit the 250 Crore worldwide gross mark by today. The overseas performance, which Venky Box Office reports at approximately 7.05 Million dollars or 67.1 Crore before adding Monday’s early estimates, has been a significant pillar for the film's success. As we head into the rest of the week, the stability of these numbers suggests that Karuppu is not just a opening-weekend wonder but a long-distance runner that is effectively capitalizing on its massive show count of over 60,000 screenings since its release.

On the other hand, the Hindi version has played a significant supporting role, adding ₹24.65 crore to the net total (₹29.14 crore gross) across a wider spread of 47,296 shows, maintaining an average occupancy of 13.4 percent throughout its run. While the film is slowly nearing the end of its theatrical run, its performance in urban pockets like Surat and Ahmedabad—where it saw 21 percent and 25 percent occupancy respectively—indicates that the appeal transcends beyond just Maharashtra. By becoming the highest-grossing Marathi film in history, Raja Shivaji has set a new benchmark for regional cinema, proving that high-quality storytelling combined with a grand scale can result in massive theatrical success. The trade is now watching to see if it can push past the 100 crore net mark before its digital premiere.

Suriya's latest outing, Karuppu (released as VeeraBhadrudu in Telugu), has effectively ended the dry spell at the Tamil box office, turning into a massive commercial juggernaut. After a relatively quiet nine months for the industry, this film has brought the audience back in droves, raking in a staggering worldwide gross of ₹239.40 crore in record time. With an India net collection of ₹148.85 crore and a solid overseas contribution of ₹67 crore, the film has firmly established itself as the highest-grossing Tamil release of 2026 so far. The momentum isn't just limited to the home turf; the movie is finding immense love across the Telugu states and international circuits, proving that the Suriya brand is stronger than ever. Tamil Nadu Milestone: On May 25, the film became the first in Suriya’s career to cross the ₹100 crore mark in Tamil Nadu alone, making it the 24th film in history to enter this elite club. Career Record: Karuppu took just four days to surpass the 13-year-old lifetime record of Singam 2 (₹124 crore), officially becoming the highest-grossing film in Suriya's career. ₹200 Crore Sprint: The film reached the ₹200 crore global milestone in just 8 days, outpacing blockbusters like Mersal, Petta, and Thunivu.

With nearly 56,000 shows played worldwide already, the movie is still holding strong in prime properties.

Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has effectively rewritten the rulebook for what a blockbuster looks like in today's era. By sailing past the 1,800 crore mark globally, it has not just overtaken legends like Baahubali 2 and Pushpa 2, but it has essentially provided a much-needed adrenaline shot for the entire industry. What makes this success story truly jaw-dropping is how the makers played their cards; while the first installment in 2025 was a purely Hindi release that raked in an impressive 1,307.35 crore, the sequel was unleashed in multiple languages. This strategic pivot allowed the film to set new benchmarks that have left many in awe as it claimed the second spot in the all-time global rankings. The financial picture here is nothing short of incredible. When you consider that both films were made on a combined budget of 255 crore, the return on investment is frankly in a league of its own. We are looking at a franchise that has generated over 3,100 crore in total worldwide gross across both chapters. To put the domestic craze into perspective, the film has seen over 4 crore footfalls, making it the first original Hindi-led project to command that kind of crowd since Gadar back in 2001. Also the sequel's 1.83 crore ticket sales on BookMyShow have pushed the franchise's total to over 6.8 crore tickets across India, reflecting the massive scale of its audience reach.Such is the trend the franchise has set that it may take years for these records to be broken. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Even as it enters its tenth weekend, the film is showing no signs of a complete burnout. In fact, the tenth-weekend performance saw a total net collection of 0.83 crore across 691 shows in India. The momentum peaked on Sunday (Day 67) with a net of 0.40 crore, marking a 33.3 percent jump from the previous day. The occupancy levels followed a similar trend, starting at 21 percent on Friday and climbing to a healthy 36 percent on Sunday. National chains like PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis saw a surge in volume as well, with ticket sales jumping from 1,318 on Friday to 3,798 on Sunday. By the end of this weekend, over 7,300 tickets were added to the kitty from these chains alone, suggesting the film still has some legs left.

Here is how the regional breakdown looks: Hindi: ₹1,079.04 Cr Telugu: ₹43.07 Cr Tamil: ₹19.83 Cr Kannada: ₹3.87 Cr Malayalam: ₹1.77 Cr This global dominance was further cemented by a strong showing overseas, where the film grossed a total of 426.67 crore. International audiences were clearly drawn to the high-quality VFX, as roughly 18 percent of overseas revenue came from premium formats like IMAX and 4DX. As the theatrical run begins to wind down, the focus is now shifting toward the small screen. The digital premiere on JioHotstar on June 4 will feature a special Raw and Undekha cut, including 20 minutes of extra footage that wasn't shown in theaters. This extended version is expected to keep the conversation going long after the film leaves the big screen. The financial health of this duology is arguably its most impressive feat. The producers managed both films on a combined budget of just 255 crore, making the return on investment frankly in a league of its own. We are looking at a franchise that has generated over 3,107 crore in total worldwide gross across both chapters. This success was not limited to the box office; the makers also pulled off a masterstroke with digital rights. While Part 1 remained with Netflix for a revised value of 85 crore, the makers leveraged the sequel's hype to secure a separate, staggering 150 crore deal with JioHotstar. This pushed their total digital revenue to 235 crore, nearly covering the entire production cost of the franchise through streaming alone.

What makes this fifth-week performance truly remarkable is how it comfortably towers over other post-COVID blockbusters. Bhooth Bangla has managed to outshine every major competitor in this specific time frame, showcasing a level of durability that most big-ticket releases lose after the first few weeks.

Sky Force - ₹ 0.70 Cr Ultimately, Bhooth Bangla's ability to tower over the charts this late in the game is a clear signal of its massive staying power. While most films run out of steam and screen space after the first month, this horror-comedy is still adding significant moolah to its already impressive tally. It has evolved from a strong opening into a historic theatrical marathon, setting a daunting benchmark for any upcoming films in the genre to try and match.

As the film navigates its ninth week at the box office, it is not just fighting for numbers; it is solidifying its legacy as a once-in-a-generation blockbuster. Let us dive into the data to see how this heavy hitter is wrapping up its record-breaking journey. As we enter the twilight of its theatrical run, the momentum remains remarkably steady. On Day 64, which was the tenth Thursday, the film brought in a net collection of 0.20 Cr. What is interesting here for those following the trends is the absolute stability; this figure is an exact match to the 0.20 Cr collected on Wednesday. Holding its ground across 368 shows after more than two months is a clear indicator that the audience interest has not completely evaporated, even with newer releases hitting the screens.

Similarly, on BookMyShow, the movie recorded approximately 41.70K ticket sales for the week until the tracking concluded on Day 62. To give you some context, the eighth week saw about 81,000 tickets booked through the same platform, so the sales have effectively halved as the film reaches its natural saturation point.

While a 2.19 Cr ninth week might seem small compared to its opening days, it is the finishing touch on a colossal mountain of revenue. The film has already done its job, rewriting the record books and setting a daunting benchmark for any future blockbusters to follow.

We are looking at the final stretch of a historic journey as Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge completes its 63rd day at the box office. If you have been tracking this film since its massive opening weekend, you know we are witnessing a rare level of theatrical stamina. As of today, the active ticket sales on digital platforms have finally come to a halt, marking the end of a record-breaking 62-day run on BookMyShow. On its ninth Wednesday, the movie added another 20 lakh rupees to its domestic net total. When we compare this to Tuesday's collection of 22 lakh, we see a very logical 9 percent dip. For a film that has been playing in theaters for over two months, this kind of stability is quite impressive. The movie operated across 409 shows today, which is just a small fraction of the massive 523,910 total shows it has screened throughout its entire run. To give you some perspective on this longevity, this sequel has officially outlasted the first Dhurandhar film (59 days). It also comfortably moved past other major hits like Chhaava (58 days), Stree 2 (57 days), and even Pushpa 2 (53 days). This 62-day streak has now set a new benchmark for modern blockbusters, showing just how much the audience was willing to keep coming back to the big screen.

PVR recorded about 535 tickets, while INOX and Cinepolis contributed 210 and 148 tickets respectively. This brings the total tickets sold across these three major chains to 893 for the day. While these might seem like small numbers in isolation, they have been the final building blocks in pushing the total India net collection to a staggering 1,146.55 crore rupees. The global picture is even more massive. With a domestic gross of 1,372.19 crore and an overseas contribution of 426.67 crore, the worldwide total now stands at 1,798.86 crore rupees. The Hindi version alone has been the primary engine for this success, contributing over 1,078 crore to the net total, followed by significant contributions from the Telugu and Tamil markets. Even on day 63, the occupancy levels remained surprisingly healthy in key regions. In Mumbai, the film still managed a 17 percent occupancy rate, with afternoon shows peaking at 21 percent. In the National Capital Region, the overall occupancy stayed around 12 percent. These figures suggest that even with a limited show count, the film continued to find a dedicated audience in the major metros right until the end. Ultimately, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge is finishing its theatrical run exactly how it started: by rewriting the record books. It is not just about the final 1,800 crore gross milestone, but about the incredible endurance it showed over nine long weeks. As the curtains finally close on this run, it leaves behind a legacy that will be a massive challenge for any upcoming release to match.

Raja Shivaji has maintained a steady presence at the box office as it enters its third week of release. While the initial momentum has naturally slowed down, the film is now approaching a significant historical milestone in Marathi cinema. On its 18th day, which was the third Monday, the movie collected a net of 1.15 crore across India. This represents a 66.7 percent drop from the previous day's collection of 3.45 crore, a trend that is expected for a weekday following a weekend. The language-wise breakdown for Day 18 shows that the Marathi version remains the primary driver of revenue, contributing 1.00 crore from 1,401 shows with an overall occupancy of 17 percent. The Hindi version added 0.15 crore from 764 shows, operating at an 8 percent occupancy level. These numbers bring the total India net collection to 85.70 crore, with the Marathi version accounting for 62.00 crore and the Hindi version contributing 23.70 crore so far. The total India gross has now reached 101.42 crore. Regional occupancy data for the Marathi version highlights strong interest in key cities like Pune and Mumbai. In Pune, the film saw an overall occupancy of 19.8 percent across 270 shows, with night screenings peaking at 23 percent. Mumbai followed with 337 shows and an overall occupancy of 15.3 percent. On the Hindi front, the film saw a 7.8 percent occupancy in both Ahmedabad and Surat, while the National Capital Region recorded 6 percent occupancy across 45 shows. This suggests that while the Marathi version holds strong in its home state, the Hindi version is finding its audience primarily in specific urban pockets. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The film's performance in national chains on Monday saw a total of approximately 3,540 tickets sold. Breaking this down, PVR contributed 1,310 tickets, INOX followed with 1,240, and Cinepolis added around 990 tickets. On the BookMyShow platform, the movie sold 38.92 thousand tickets on its third Monday, bringing the total ticket sales on the site to over 23.32 lakh.

Looking at the broader financial picture, the film added 0.10 crore from overseas markets on Day 18, taking the total overseas gross to 4.00 crore. This brings the total worldwide gross collection to 105.42 crore. In North America, however, the film has struggled to find significant footing, closing its recent gross at 202 thousand dollars, which is categorized as a flop in that specific territory. Domestically, the film had a strong start with a Week 1 collection of 52.65 crore, followed by 24.30 crore in its second week. The most important story for Raja Shivaji right now is its pursuit of the all-time Marathi box office record. The film is currently just 5 crore away from surpassing Sairat to become the number one Marathi movie of all time. If it continues at this pace, it is projected to reach a worldwide total of 110 crore by the end of its third week. Achieving this would cement its legacy as a historic success and a new benchmark for Marathi cinema on the global stage.
