The Tamil comedy Mandaadi, starring Soori, crossed the Rs 93.40 crore mark in India after 13 days of release, drawing close to the collections of Sardar 2.
Mandaadi, the Tamil-language comedy headlined by popular actor Soori, has recorded a domestic gross of Rs 93.40 crore as of its thirteenth day in theatres. The figure, compiled by box‑office trackers, reflects the film's steady draw across urban and semi‑urban centres.
Industry analysts note that the collection places Mandaadi within striking distance of the earnings posted by the recent blockbuster Sardar 2, which remains the benchmark for high‑budget releases this year. While exact numbers for Sardar 2 are higher, the gap has narrowed considerably.
The performance underscores the growing appetite for regional comedy content among Indian audiences, and it reinforces Soori's status as a bankable star in the Tamil market. Distributors are now eyeing extended runs in multiplexes and single‑screen venues to maximise revenue before the film moves to digital platforms.
