The Tamil film ‘Vishwanath and Sons’ posted a 61.1% jump in its ninth‑day box‑office earnings, overtaking the competing movie ‘DC’, according to the latest figures.
The latest box‑office report shows that ‘Vishwanath and Sons’, starring Suriya and Mamitha Baiju, recorded a 61.1% increase in earnings on its ninth day of release. The surge placed the film ahead of the rival title ‘DC’, which had been leading the weekend tally.
The film opened to strong occupancy in major multiplexes and single‑screen theatres across the country, and its day‑by‑day growth has been steady. After a modest start, the ninth‑day jump indicates strong word‑of‑mouth and repeat viewership, especially in Tamil‑speaking regions.
Industry analysts attribute the rise to the star power of Suriya, positive critical reception, and an aggressive promotional push in the second week. The performance also reflects a broader trend of regional films sustaining box‑office momentum beyond the opening weekend.
If the current trajectory holds, ‘Vishwanath and Sons’ could secure a profitable run and challenge other high‑budget releases slated for the month. Distributors are now eyeing additional screen allocations in smaller towns to capitalize on the momentum.
