Actor Suriya's Scene, directed by Jithu Madhavan, has maintained a strong run at the box office, collecting over Rs 81 crore worldwide in its first two days in theatres. Meanwhile, Nayanthara's Mookuthi Amman 2, directed by Sundar C, has struggled to find an audience, with its domestic collection standing at Rs 5 crore.Released on November 6, the two films have received contrasting responses from audiences and critics.
While Scene has earned largely positive reviews for its quirky approach to storytelling, Mookuthi Amman 2 has faced criticism for its screenplay and visual effects.According to box office tracker Sacnilk, Scene collected Rs 23.65 crore (gross) and Rs 20.35 crore (net) at the Indian box office on its second day. This took its total domestic collection to Rs 45.90 crore (gross) and Rs 39.50 crore (net).The film also earned Rs 18 crore (gross) overseas on Saturday, taking its cumulative international collection to Rs 35.75 crore.
With this, Scene has amassed Rs 81.65 crore worldwide in its first two days. In comparison, Mookuthi Amman 2 has collected Rs 5 crore in India so far.
The film earned Rs 2.85 crore gross on Saturday, while its Friday collection stood at Rs 2.15 crore. The contrasting box office performances come amid a busy theatrical season, with Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana: Rise of a Legend also drawing audiences.
Starring Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Ravana, the film has crossed Rs 250 crore gross at the Indian box office.For Scene, the strong opening weekend marks a hat-trick of success in 2026 for Suriya after Karuppu and Vishwanath and Sons, and an encouraging start for Jithu Madhavan's Tamil debut. The filmmaker, known for directing Aavesham, has brought together Suriya, Nazriya and Naslen for the film.
Meanwhile, Mookuthi Amman 2 will hope to improve its theatrical performance in the coming days. The film's relatively modest numbers come despite the renewed box office interest in the genre following the success of Suriya's Karuppu, directed by RJ Balaji, which reportedly earned over Rs 300 crore worldwide.- EndsMUST WATCH:
