Suriya’s latest outing ‘Vishwanath and Sons’ is off to a strong start at the worldwide box office. Despite being a family entertainer at a time when mass and action films have largely dominated the theatrical market, the film has managed to cross the Rs 100 crore mark worldwide within its opening weekend.

The film witnessed a particularly strong Sunday, collecting more than Rs 30 crore worldwide. The solid weekend numbers indicate a strong audience response, especially among family audiences.

Strong Run in North America

‘Vishwanath and Sons’ is also performing well in the North American market. The film has already crossed the $1.5 million mark, with the Telugu version emerging as the bigger contributor.

The Telugu version is nearing $900K, while the Tamil version has collected around $600K. The overseas numbers underline the film’s strong performance in the Telugu market.

Crosses Rs 50 Crore Net in India

The film has also achieved a notable milestone in the domestic market. ‘Vishwanath and Sons’ has crossed the Rs 50 crore net mark in India within its first three days.

Directed by Telugu filmmaker Venky Atluri and produced by Telugu producer Naga Vamsi, the film has managed to connect with audiences without relying on the usual mass-action formula.

The strong opening weekend has given the film a solid foundation, and all eyes are now on its weekday performance. If the family entertainer maintains decent hold during the weekdays, it could continue its strong box-office run in the coming days.

Suriya’s Remarkable Comeback Continues

Meanwhile, Suriya is enjoying a significant turnaround in his career this year. The actor recently delivered the biggest hit of his career with ‘Karuppu’, which released in May.

After a phase of consecutive disappointments and concerns over his market, Suriya has now scored back-to-back successes with two films from completely different genres.

‘Vishwanath and Sons’ further strengthens his position at the box office and adds another important success to his comeback phase.

With the film already crossing the Rs 100 crore mark worldwide, its weekday hold will determine whether ‘Vishwanath and Sons’ can turn its strong opening into a long-running box-office success.
