Sivakarthikeyan's thriller film Doctor directed by Nelson Dilipkumar was a blockbuster hit. The film proved to be a stress buster with the fun elements, fresh storyline and excellent acting of the cast. Doctor is all set to create a ₹100 crore box office collection record bringing much-needed cheer to film exhibitors, who are among the hardest hit by the Covid-19 pandemic.

The dark-comedy genre film is still running in packed houses for the fourth straight week even after the announcement that the film will premiere on Sun TV on Diwali and on Netflix from November 5. According to various box office reports, the movie is having a phenomenal run in Telugu markets and in Kerala, where theatres were reopened on October 27

Siva also took this Twitter to thank his fans and distributers " That's a massive 25th day for our #DOCTOR Thanks to all the distributors, exhibitors, press, media and finally, the fans & audience for this humongous response for our #DOCTOR. We, the team of #DOCTOR thank you once again from the bottom of our heart."

Directed by Nelson Dilipkumar and bankrolled by KJR Studios and Sivakarthikeyan Productions’, Doctor, hit the silver screen on October 9 after multiple delays on account of the pandemic and frequent speculation about its direct OTT release.
