Suriya’s latest film, "Scene", has generated impressive numbers during the Diwali weekend. The Jithu Madhavan film, co-starring Naslen and Nazriya, collected ₹116.65 crore worldwide during its first three days. The film has not only crossed the ₹100 crore mark but has also set new benchmarks in Kerala, where it recorded a remarkable opening weekend.
On Day 3, "Scene" collected a net of ₹23.25 crore in India across 6,001 shows. The Tamil version contributed ₹19.25 crore from 4,557 shows, while the Telugu version added ₹4 crore from 1,444 shows. With this, the film’s total India gross collection reached ₹72.90 crore, while its India net collection stood at ₹62.75 crore, per Sacnilk's reported figures.
The film also performed strongly overseas, earning around ₹10 crore on Day 3, thereby taking its total overseas gross collection to ₹43.75 crore. Combining its domestic and international earnings, "Scene" reached a worldwide gross of ₹116.65 crore within three days.
'Scene' creates a new benchmark for Suriya in Kerala
When comparing the three-day opening weekend collections of "Scene", "Karuppu" and "Vishwanath and Sons", the latest film has made a much bigger impact in Kerala than in Tamil Nadu.
In Tamil Nadu, "Karuppu" leads with a three-day gross of ₹48.40 crore, followed by "Scene" (₹35.15 crore) and "Vishwanath and Sons" (₹28 crore).
However, the picture is very different in Kerala. "Scene" recorded an outstanding ₹16.30 crore in its first three days, easily beating both the other two films. In Kerala, "Karuppu" collected ₹7.15 crore, while "Vishwanath and Sons" earned ₹4.80 crore in the same period.
"Scene", which has connected with Malayali audiences due to the presence of several Malayali actors, most notably Naslen, Nazriya, Lal, and a surprise cameo from another big Malayalam star, opened with ₹5.75 crore on Day 1 and witnessed another major jump on Sunday, collecting ₹5.50 crore.
In Tamil Nadu, "Scene" earned ₹21.65 crore in the first two days before adding another ₹13.50 crore on Sunday to finish its opening weekend at ₹35.15 crore.
Suriya scores a rare box office hat-trick
"Scene" has become the third Suriya film to cross the ₹100 crore worldwide mark within its first three days, after "Karuppu" and "Vishwanath and Sons". "Karuppu" crossed the milestone on Day 3 and finished its opening weekend with ₹121.75 crore. "Vishwanath and Sons" achieved the feat even faster, crossing ₹100 crore within just two days before ending its three-day run at ₹108.22 crore.
Suriya now joins a select group which includes Prabhas, Yash and Vijay, who have achieved this remarkable milestone.
