Ramayana is making a strong impact across global markets, with the overseas response exceeding expectations and the film setting new records in India as well. Amid this massive box-office wave, Suriya’s Scene has entered the Diwali festival race and is managing to hold its ground despite facing stiff competition.
Considering the scale, budget, star cast and multilingual release of Ramayana, Scene is considerably smaller in comparison. However, the Tamil crime comedy thriller has managed to make a strong impression. According to BookMyShow data, Scene sold 516K tickets on Sunday alone, nearly half the number recorded by Ramayana on the same platform.
The film has maintained its audience interest and continues to perform well at the box office despite the competition. Scene has reportedly crossed the Rs. 100 crore worldwide gross mark within just three days of its release.
Interestingly, its first Sunday ticket sales on BookMyShow are also higher than those of Suriya’s previous two releases, Karuppu and Vishwanath & Sons. This indicates the film’s strong theatrical momentum, although its weekday collections will be crucial in determining its overall box-office performance.
Director Jithu Madhavan has scored a successful Kollywood debut with the film. Naslen has impressed audiences with his negative role, while Nazriya has made a notable return to Tamil cinema.
2D Entertainment and Zhagaram Studios have jointly produced Scene, with Sushin Shyam composing the music.
