Amaran 1st Day Box Office Collection: Sivakarthikeyan's Film Set To Become 3rd Biggest Opener Of 2024

Tamil star Sivakarthikeyan's much-awaited biographical war action drama Amaran, directed by Rajkumar Periasamy, has taken a solid opening with good advance bookings.

This has marked Amaran as the highest-grossing opening for Sivakarthikeyan to date, with expectations of an impressive Rs 15 crore gross start in Tamil Nadu alone. This would place it as the third biggest Tamil opening of 2024, surpassing Kamal Haasan's Indian 2 (Rs 13 crore) and just behind Thalapathy Vijay's The GOAT (Rs 29.50 crore) and Rajinikanth's Vettaiyan (Rs 20.50 crores), as per the trade reports.

In addition to its strong performance in Tamil Nadu, Amaran has generated solid pre-sales in the Telugu states, with an anticipated all-India opening gross between Rs 18-20 crores. This would be a career milestone for Sivakarthikeyan, who continues to solidify his standing as one of Tamil cinema's most popular stars.

The movie has been released in multiple languages - Tamil, Telugu, Hindi and Malayalam - languages.

Occupancy Rates by Verions for morning and noon shows
Tamil Nadu: 72.69%
Telugu States: 73.71%
Karnataka (Kannada): 27.38%
North India (Hindi): 12.43%

The film has opened to positive reviews, with critics praising Sivakarthikeyan and Sai Pallavi's powerful performances and the film's emotional depth. The long holiday weekend ahead is expected to help Amaran maintain its strong performance, setting the stage for a potentially lucrative run in theatres.
