Suriya starrer eyes bigger opening than ‘Karuppu’ after positive reviews

Suriya’s ‘Vishwanath And Sons’ has started its theatrical journey with encouraging early reviews from audiences. The film opened in cinemas today and has attracted attention for its family-friendly treatment, performances and lighter tone. While the initial box office figures are still developing, the positive word of mouth has created hopes for stronger collections over the weekend. The film is now expected to gain momentum as more viewers head to theatres.

‘Vishwanath And Sons’ opens strong

According to Sacnilk, ‘Vishwanath And Sons’ has collected Rs 2.33 crore net in India on Day 1 so far, with the final figure yet to be reported. The Suriya-starrer is currently running across 1,652 shows, with an overall occupancy of around 30.3%. The film has recorded an estimated Rs 2.75 crore India gross, while the India net stands at Rs 2.33 crore. Language-wise, the Tamil version has contributed around Rs 1.34 crore net from 1,099 shows, with 28% occupancy. The Telugu version has earned around lakh net from 553 shows, with 35% occupancy.

Suriya’s ‘Vishwanath And Sons’ expected to challenge ‘Karuppu’ opening

The current numbers are being closely compared with Suriya’s previous release ‘Karuppu,’ which recorded a much bigger opening. Karuppu collected Rs 15.50 crore net on Day 1 from 4,891 shows, taking its India gross to Rs 17.93 crore. The film also earned ₹11 crore gross overseas, pushing its worldwide opening-day gross to Rs 28.93 crore. But the good response to ‘Vishwanath And Sons’ in the first few days has raised hopes that the film might see a huge jump in collections during the evening shows and weekend. The film is expected to see better occupancy over the next two days and with positive word of mouth, it could aim to close the gap and potentially exceed the overall opening performance of ‘Karuppu’.
