Sivakarthikeyan’s Madharasi scores ₹13 crore on opening day, beating Baaghi 4 at the Indian box office.
Sivakarthikeyan and Rukmini Vasanth starred in AR Murugadoss' eagerly awaited action thriller Madharasi, which made a successful box office debut. The movie, which was released on September 5, 2025, made an estimated ₹13 crore net on its first day in India, surpassing Tiger Shroff's Baaghi 4 (which opened at ₹12 crore).
Good Start Despite Serious Competition
The Hollywood horror film The Conjuring: Last Rites, Vivek Agnihotri's The Bengal Files, and Anushka Shetty's Ghaati were among the major releases that fiercely competed with the Tamil action entertainer. Madharasi maintained its position in spite of the long queue, especially in Tamil Nadu, where it had a 62.22% occupancy rate. While Hindi belts stayed modest at 4.73%, Telugu markets reported 23.81% occupancy.
Performance of Other Releases at the Box Office
- With a huge ₹18 crore opening in India, The Conjuring: Last Rites topped the box office overall.
- Despite earning a respectable ₹12 crore, Baaghi 4 was not as successful as Madharasi.
- The Bengal Files made about ₹1.75 crore, while Ghaati took home ₹2 crore.
The plot and the cast
In addition to Sivakarthikeyan and Rukmini Vasanth, Vidyut Jammwal, Biju Menon, Vikranth Santhosh, and Shabeer Kallarakkal play important roles in Madharasi. Anirudh Ravichander's music enhances the action-packed movie.
The plot, which combines action and emotional depth, centres on a police officer pursuing an arms-smuggling gang while battling personal trauma.
Evaluations and Reactions from the Audience
The Times of India rated the movie three stars, lauding Murugadoss' comeback and Sivakarthikeyan's powerful performance. The captivating screenplay and excellent technical execution keep viewers interested, even though some commercial liberties make it difficult to believe.
Prospects for the Weekend
Madharasi has already demonstrated its box office appeal with an opening of ₹13 crore. The performance over the weekend will be important, according to trade experts. The movie might become one of Sivakarthikeyan's biggest box office hits if good reviews keep coming in.
