The Tamil‑Malayalam bilingual film starring Suriya and Mamitha Baiju has amassed over Rs 100 crore in box‑office receipts within nine days, emerging as a major hit in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
The film 'Vishwanath And Sons', featuring veteran actor Suriya alongside newcomer Mamitha Baiju, recorded a cumulative box‑office collection exceeding Rs 100 crore in just nine days after its release. The milestone places the movie in the coveted Rs 100‑crore club, a benchmark rarely achieved by regional productions.
Trade analysts attribute the rapid earnings to strong word‑of‑mouth, extensive screen coverage across the Telugu belt and the film’s pan‑Indian appeal. The movie’s performance in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana has been particularly robust, with several theatres reporting sold‑out shows.
Producers have confirmed that the film’s revenue includes both domestic theatrical receipts and overseas collections from markets with sizable Indian diaspora. The success is expected to boost the marketability of future bilingual projects and reinforce Suriya’s growing fan base in the southern states.
Industry insiders note that the Rs 100‑crore figure is a net collection after deducting exhibitor shares, underscoring the film’s profitability. The momentum is likely to continue as the film completes its first weekend in other regional territories.
The achievement marks a significant commercial triumph for the production house, which plans to leverage the film’s popularity for upcoming releases and ancillary revenue streams such as digital streaming rights.
