Suriya-starrer Scene is nearing the ₹150-crore club in India gross earnings in a major boost for its second week in cinemas.
As of Saturday (day nine), the film has earned ₹4.65 crore in India net haul so far across 2,876 shows. This includes 2,078 Tamil shows that contributed ₹3.55 crore, as well as 798 Telugu shows that have raked in ₹1.10 crore, as per box office tracker Sacnilk.
This has pushed the total India net collection to ₹122.35 crore so far, while the total India gross earnings reached ₹142.19 crore—just ₹7.81 crore away from the ₹150-crore milestone.
This has made the Jithu Madhavan action comedy the second-best performer at the box office among the three Suriya films that released this year, in terms of India gross numbers.
This is because just nine days after its theatrical release, Scene has beaten the lifetime India gross of Suriya's Vishwanath and Sons, which stood at ₹141.71 crore after 49 days in cinemas. Scene is also just ₹19 lakh away from beating the lifetime India net haul of Vishwanath and Sons.
However, it still needs to earn more to beat Suriya's other 2026 film, Karuppu, which had a longer theatrical run than Vishwanath and Sons.
Scene needs to earn a whopping ₹86.78 crore to beat the lifetime India gross haul of ₹228.97-crore figure for Karuppu, and ₹75.83 crore to beat the R.J. Balaji film's lifetime India net haul of ₹198.18 crore.
The Suriya-led film is also complemented by a strong Mollywood cast of Nazriya Nazim, Naslen K. Gafoor, Lal, and Tovino Thomas, which is one of many reasons it is doing well overseas as well.
In fact, the film has already beaten the lifetime overseas collection of ₹67.75 crore for Vishwanath and Sons, and is on its way to cross the ₹81.15-crore mark set by Karuppu.
The film's second-weekend performance—after multiple dips in India net collection by the end of the first week—will be key in deciding how fast the film breaks these records.
