Suriya's latest film ‘Scene’ has crossed the ₹100 crore mark at the Indian box office within just six days of its theatrical release. However, the Tamil crime comedy witnessed a noticeable decline in collections on its first Wednesday, November 11, registering a 37.4 per cent drop compared to the previous day.
Directed by Jithu Madhavan, the film collected approximately ₹8.05 crore net in India on Day 6, taking its total domestic net collection to ₹105.45 crore. Its India gross collection has reached ₹122.50 crore. The film also earned an estimated ₹4 crore from overseas markets on Wednesday, pushing its total international gross collection to ₹66 crore.
With these figures, ‘Scene’ has recorded a worldwide gross collection of approximately ₹188.50 crore in its first six days. It is now approaching the ₹200 crore milestone.
The film had opened strongly on November 6, collecting ₹19.15 crore on its first day. Its performance improved over the weekend, with Saturday bringing in ₹20.35 crore and Sunday adding ₹23.65 crore. On Monday, the film continued its strong run with ₹21.40 crore.
However, collections began slowing on Tuesday, when the film earned ₹12.85 crore, followed by another decline on Wednesday. Despite the midweek slowdown, crossing ₹100 crore in domestic net collections within six days marks a significant achievement for the Suriya-starrer.
The Tamil version remains the biggest contributor to the film's box office performance. It earned ₹6.15 crore on Day 6, taking its six-day total to ₹86.55 crore. The Telugu version contributed ₹1.90 crore on Wednesday, bringing its cumulative collection to ₹18.90 crore.
‘Scene’ features Suriya as DSP Inbaraj, an unusual police officer dealing with deteriorating eyesight while attempting to solve a mysterious murder case. His investigation takes an unexpected turn as he revisits an unfinished case from his past.
The film also stars Nazriya Nazim, Naslen K. Gafoor, Lal and Anandraj in important roles. Jyothika makes a special appearance. The project marks Jithu Madhavan's Tamil directorial debut following the success of his Malayalam films ‘Romancham’ and ‘Aavesham’.
Produced by Suriya and Jyothika under 2D Entertainment and Zhagaram Studios, the film combines crime, comedy and suspense.
With its first-week performance crossing the ₹100 crore domestic net mark and worldwide earnings nearing ₹200 crore, the film will now look to regain momentum during its second weekend.
