The Tamil film Meesaya Murukku 2, directed by Hiphop Tamizha, has posted a solid box‑office haul on its fifth day, with the team hoping the film will eventually surpass the lifetime earnings of the earlier hit Idhayam Murali.
Meesaya Murukku 2, the latest offering from director‑composer Hiphop Tamizha, opened in theatres across Tamil Nadu on 15 August and has been steadily climbing the box‑office charts. By the end of its fifth day, the film had accumulated a respectable share of the market, according to distributors.
The film’s performance has drawn comparisons to the 2019 blockbuster Idhayam Murali, whose lifetime gross set a benchmark for mid‑budget Tamil releases. While exact figures are yet to be released, industry insiders suggest that Meesaya Murukku 2’s trajectory could eclipse the earlier film’s total earnings.
Producers have expressed optimism, noting that the movie’s blend of music, drama and action has resonated with audiences. The team is also banking on positive word‑of‑mouth and the film’s presence in multiple formats, including digital and satellite, to sustain its momentum.
If the current trend continues, Meesaya Murukku 2 could become one of the highest‑grossing Tamil films of the year, setting a new standard for the genre.
The film remains in theatres for the next week, with distributors monitoring its performance closely as it aims to secure a record‑breaking lifetime collection.
