Suriya is back in theatres for the third time this year with Scene, which released on November 6. His previous two releases were Karuppu and Vishwanath & Sons. The Jithu Madhavan film opened to largely positive reviews and is doing well at the box office given it was the Diwali weekend. But Diwali is over and Monday is here. Did Scene hold up? Let's take a look.
Scene box office update
Scene had a strong start at the box office as it collected ₹19.15 crore on its first day of release. The next day, the film saw some growth and earned ₹20.35 crore. Sunday saw more growth and the film collected ₹23.65 crore, its highest single-day haul so far.
As per the latest update from Sacnilk, Scene collected ₹21.25 crore on Monday, which showed a strong hold for a Monday. It is more than the haul for its opening day, which is a very good sign for the film and shows that the positive word of mouth has been a big pull for audiences so far. This brings the total collection of the film to ₹84.40 crore after four days of release. The film is expected to cross the ₹100 crore mark by tomorrow.
