Madrasi Box Office Collection - Day 4: Here Is How Much Sivakarthikeyan's Film Rakes In On Monday

Sivakarthikeyan's action-thriller Madrasi, directed by A.R. Murugadoss, opened to a fairly positive response at the box office, giving the makers a decent start despite receiving mixed reviews from critics and audiences. The film, which was released on Friday, managed to garner significant attention during its first weekend, showing solid performance in key Tamil Nadu and other Indian markets.

Madrasi Box Office Collection

On its opening day (Friday), Madrasi collected approximately ₹13.65 crore at the India box office. The bulk of this revenue came from Tamil Nadu, where the film earned ₹12 crore, while contributions from the Telugu-speaking regions and Karnataka added around ₹1.55 crore. This strong Day 1 performance demonstrated good audience interest, especially among Sivakarthikeyan's fan base.

The second day (Saturday) saw a slight dip in collections, a common trend after the opening day, but the numbers remained robust with ₹12.1 crore. Tamil Nadu continued to lead the collections with ₹10.9 crore, and the Telugu and Kannada markets contributed ₹1.1 crore. The day-to-day drop was around 11.36%, but the overall performance remained satisfactory.

On Sunday, the film's third day brought in around ₹10.65 crore, with Tamil Nadu contributing ₹9.75 crore, and the Telugu and Kannada markets together adding ₹0.9 crore. The Sunday drop was marginal compared to Saturday, with an 11.98% dip, reflecting decent word-of-mouth and sustained audience turnout.

However, as expected, the momentum slowed on Monday, the first weekday, with Madrasi collecting ₹4.15 crore in early estimates. Occupancy data from Monday shows an overall Tamil Nadu occupancy of 25.91%, indicating a significant fall compared to the weekend figures but still maintaining a moderate level of audience interest.

Detailed regional occupancy figures for Monday (September 8, 2025) offer insight into performance across different cities:

• Chennai remained the strongest market with 37% overall occupancy, particularly healthy during evening and night shows (41% and 44% respectively).
• Bengaluru showed a lower turnout with just 11.5% overall occupancy, reflecting tepid interest in Karnataka.
• Madurai and Coimbatore performed relatively well, registering 21% and 27.75% occupancy respectively, showing that the film retained its appeal in traditional Tamil strongholds.
• Pondicherry showed the highest Monday occupancy at 41%, indicating strong audience pull in the region.
• In key non-South markets like Mumbai and the National Capital Region (NCR), the occupancy was moderate to low, with NCR at just 8.33%, signaling limited pan-India appeal.

By the end of its first four days, early estimates suggest that Madrasi amassed around ₹40.55 crore net at the Indian box office. While the film's critical reception was mixed, its commercial performance reflects that Sivakarthikeyan's mass appeal continues to draw audiences, especially in Tamil Nadu and select South Indian regions.

Overall, Madrasi demonstrated a strong opening weekend but witnessed the expected midweek drop typical of most commercial entertainers. The movie's future performance will now heavily depend on word-of-mouth, critical feedback, and competition from upcoming releases.
