Cinema VinesSoori’s Tamil sports action drama Mandaadi has crossed the ₹100 crore mark worldwide, cementing its status as a box‑office success. The film, which premiered on 10 September, has amassed an estimated ₹103.72 crore in global gross, with domestic net earnings of about ₹75.55 crore and a gross of ₹88.32 crore. Internationally, it added roughly ₹0.75 crore on Day 11, bringing overseas totals to around ₹15.40 crore.
Day 11, falling on 20 September, saw the film pull in an estimated ₹8 crore net in India, a 22% jump from the ₹6.55 crore collected on Saturday. The 38.8% occupancy across 3,865 shows reflected a steady audience interest as the movie entered its second weekend. Tamil screenings dominated the day, generating approximately ₹7.15 crore net from 2,486 shows at a 48.1% occupancy, while Telugu markets contributed about ₹0.85 crore from 1,379 shows at 22% occupancy.
Opening figures illustrate the film’s growth trajectory: it earned ₹4.85 crore net on its first day, climbed to ₹10 crore on Saturday and ₹13.05 crore on Sunday of the opening weekend, and then collected ₹11.25 crore on the first Monday. The first week’s domestic net total settled at ₹57.30 crore, with a second‑week Friday haul of ₹3.70 crore, Saturday’s ₹6.55 crore, and Sunday’s ₹8 crore.
Behind the story is writer‑director Mathimaran Pugazhendhi, with Elred Kumar producing under RS Infotainment. The cast features Soori, Suhas (making his Tamil debut), Mahima Nambiar, Sathyaraj, Mithun Jai Sankar, Ravindravjay, and Bala Saravanan. The narrative revolves around a traditional South Indian sailboat race, pitting rival teams led by Kaali and Saattaappuli. G. V. Prakash Kumar composed the score, S. R. Kathir handled cinematography, and Pradeep E. Ragav edited the film.
As Mandaadi enters its third week, day‑12 figures will determine its final run, but the film’s achievement of surpassing the ₹100 crore threshold marks a significant milestone for the director, the cast, and the production house.
