Box office record: 'Scene' joining 'Karuppu', 'Vishwanathan and Sons' on unique list helps Suriya set incredible Kollywood milestone
'Scene' is the third consecutive ₹200-crore film for Suriya, and it is no mean feat in the Tamil movie industry
Suriya has achieved a historic milestone by becoming the first Tamil actor to have three films gross over ₹200 crore each in a single calendar year, fueled by the strong worldwide performance of his latest release Scene. Sacnilk reports that the film successfully garnered an India net collection of ₹107.97 crore and a gross of ₹125.47 crore during its first seven days, despite a natural weekday decline in box office numbers.

Suriya has rewritten box office records by becoming the first Tamil actor to have three films gross over ₹200 crore each in the same calendar year. With Scene earning over ₹200 crore worldwide, he sealed the unique milestone, as Karuppu and Vishwanathan & Sons had already managed ₹200 crore or more.
Directed by Jithu Madhavan, Scene, which co-stars Naslen and Nazriya in prominent roles, has also outperformed Karuppu and Vishwanathan & Sons in Kerala, setting a new career-best box office record for Suriya in the state.
"As of Day 7, Scene is currently running across 2,761 shows and has collected a net of ₹2.52 Cr today," box office data-tracking website Sacnilk said on Thursday. Today, the Tamil version of the movie managed ₹1.84 crore from 1,989 shows, while the Telugu version earned ₹68 lakh from 772 shows. This took the action-investigation thriller's total India gross collections to ₹125.47 crore and total India net to ₹107.97 crore, Sacnilk said. The income earned from evening shows is yet to be accounted for, meaning the final collections could be higher. Overall, the first week (Days 1–7 so far) and seven-day total stand at ₹107.97 crore in India net and ₹125.47 crore in India gross.
However, the film has witnessed a significant decline in its daily collections from Tuesday to Wednesday. According to Sacnilk, Scene managed ₹19.15 crore in India net on Day 1 (Friday, November 6), and an India gross of ₹22.25 crore. On Day 2 (Saturday, November 7), India net stood at ₹20.35 crore and India gross at ₹23.65 crore. The following day, it managed ₹23.65 crore in net and ₹27.45 crore in gross.
On Day 4 (Monday, November 9), Scene's India net was ₹21.40 crore and India gross was ₹24.85 crore. Day 5 (Tuesday, November 10) brought in ₹12.85 crore in India net and ₹14.95 crore in India gross, followed by Day 6 (Wednesday, November 11) with ₹8.05 crore in India net and ₹9.35 crore in India gross.
It was reported earlier that the film collected ₹4.00 crore on Day 6 overseas, taking its total overseas gross to ₹66.00 Cr so far. Worldwide gross earnings also rose to ₹188.50 crore.
