Scene worldwide box office collection day 2: Suriya's star power ensures film crosses ₹80 crore, beating Karuppu and Vishwanath & Sons

Scene opened to positive reviews, particularly for Suriya's performance in the lead. The film also stars Nazriya Nazim and Naslen.

Suriya is on his way to score a hattrick with Scene. The star delivered consecutive superhits with Karuppu and Vishwanath & Sons earlier this year, both crossing above ₹200 crore globally. Scene is his third release of the year, which hit theatres just ahead of the Diwali weekend. It looks set to do well too, given its bumper start at the box office.

About Scene

In Scene, Suriya plays a cop named Inbaraaj, who is known for his swagger and attitude. Upon his arrival, the inmates of the prison behave erratically. He is forced to take on an investigation after his secret is exposed. The film also marks the return of Nazriya Nazim in Tamil cinema after 12 years. Naslen makes his Tamil debut with the film.

The film is written and directed by Jithu Madhavan, and produced by Suriya and Jyothika's 2D Entertainment and the newly established Zhagaram Studios. Anandaraj, Lal, Rajpriyan, Suresh Mathiyalagan and Gajaraj also star in it.

“But Scene is not just all fun or one expected scene after another, because once the ball gets rolling, Jithu still finds a way to keep you on your toes. You never really know what comes next, even if it might not all land. He even brings humour to fight scenes, which could easily veer into your same old commercial trope territory. One particular fight sequence involving Inba and Maya is as hilarious as they come,” read an excerpt from the HT review of Scene.
