'Madharasi' Box Office collection day 6: Sivakarthikeyan and Vidyut Jammwal’s action film DROPS to Rs 2 crore; India total reaches Rs 46 crore

Sivakarthikeyan’s latest release ‘Madharasi’, directed by AR Murugadoss, has been performing well at the box office since its release. The action-packed film opened with a strong start and quickly gained attention among other big releases. However, after six days, the movie is yet to touch the Rs 50 crore mark in India.

Day 6 collection sees sharp drop

As per early estimates by Sacnilk, ‘Madharasi’ earned around Rs 2.25 crore net in India on its sixth day across all languages. The film has clearly slowed down during weekdays. On Wednesday, 10 September 2025, the Tamil occupancy stood at 17.99%. Morning shows recorded 14.98%, afternoon shows 18.42%, evening shows 17.54%, while night shows picked up slightly at 21.01%.

Strong opening gave Sivakarthikeyan’s film a boost

‘Madharasi’ kicked off with Rs 13.65 crore on Friday, making it one of the best openings in Sivakarthikeyan’s career. Saturday and Sunday kept the momentum alive, with collections of Rs 12.10 crore and Rs 11.40 crore respectively.

After a solid weekend, the real test began on Monday. The film witnessed a sharp fall with Rs 4.15 crore, followed by another dip on Tuesday at Rs 3.2 crore. The trend continued on Wednesday with earnings of Rs 2.25 crore.

What is the plot and cast of ‘Madharasi’

The plot follows a police officer on a risky mission to stop a gang from smuggling illegal weapons into Tamil Nadu. The character not only battles criminals but also faces his own inner struggles, giving the story both thrills and emotional weight.

‘Madharasi’ features an impressive line-up of actors alongside Sivakarthikeyan, including Rukmini Vasanth, Vidyut Jammwal, Biju Menon, Vikranth Santhosh, Monisha Vijay, Prem Kumar, Thalaivasal Vijay, Rishi Rithvik and Shabeer Kallarakkal.

Vidyut Jammwal’s villain role earns praise

Apart from Sivakarthikeyan, audiences have been impressed with Vidyut Jammwal’s performance as the main antagonist. His intense screen presence and brutal action scenes have drawn wide praise, proving his ability to play a powerful villain. Jammwal also took to Instagram recently, sharing stories about how he has often felt ‘underutilised’ in Bollywood and Indian cinema. His strong role in ‘Madharasi’ may well change that perception. Sivakarthikeyan's previous outing was 'Amaran'.
