Box Office Weekend Winners: ‘Ramayana’ Nears ₹250 Crore, ‘Scene’ Crosses ₹60 Crore, ‘Mookuthi Amman 2’ Struggles Below ₹10 Crore
The Diwali festive period has turned the box office into a full-blown fireworks show, with the majority of new releases shattering records in the domestic market.
‘Ramayana: Part 1’ Makes A Winning Start
Despite its release during the pre-Diwali period, which is considered a dull phase for the box office, Ranbir Kapoor, Yash and Sai Pallavi’s “Ramayana” scored big in its four-day extended weekend, collecting ₹238.85 crore. Since the Diwali holidays have kicked in, the film is now expected to show an upward swing and register strong numbers, not only in India but across the globe.
Suriya Scores Hat-Trick in 2026 With ‘Scene’
After delivering back-to-back hits with “Karuppu” and “Vishwanath & Sons,” Suriya scored his third hit of the year with his latest release “Scene.” The action-comedy co-starring Naslen and Nazriya Nazim collected ₹62.75 crore in three days and is expected to hit the century by the end of its opening week. However, it would be interesting to see whether it surpasses “Karuppu” (₹198.18 crore) to become Suriya’s highest-grosser in India.

The string of flop films continues for ‘Lady Superstar’ Nayanthara after “Patriot,” “Toxic” and “Hi,” as her recent release, “Mookuthi Amman 2,” failed to strike a chord at the box office. Despite featuring an A-lister with a strong supporting cast and being the second part of the popular film, it received a lukewarm response and earned merely ₹8.93 crore in its first weekend. With the absence of substantial growth, it rarely has a chance to bounce back on the weekdays, as the other two releases are adding massive numbers to their collections.
