Scene worldwide box office collection day 9: Suriya's crime comedy overtakes Vishwanath & Sons to become his second highest-grossing film

The Tamil film Scene is directed by Jithu Madhavan. It stars Nazriya Nazim and Naslen in key roles and marks Suriya's third release of 2026.

Suriya is on a spectacular run in 2026. The actor delivered back to back successes in Karuppu, Vishwanath & Sons, and then in his Diwali release, Scene. Now, the star is breaking his own records as Scene has emerged as a huge success globally. Scene, which was released in theatres ahead of Diwali, opened to rave reviews and drew strong crowds over the holiday weekend. Scene crossed the ₹200 crore mark worldwide in its first week of release.

Scene box office update

Scene released in theatres on November 6, just ahead of Diwali. It inched past the ₹200-crore mark despite a drop in daily collections after the Diwali break. Suriya has three films crossing that milestone in 2026. Karuppu earned over ₹300 crore, while Viswanath and Sons grossed ₹209 crore worldwide. This makes Suriya the first actor from the Tamil film industry to deliver three such hits in a single year.

In India, the film collected ₹111.70 crore by the end of its first week. On day 9, the film collected a net of ₹9.50 crore across 4,309 shows. The total India net collections now stands at ₹127.20 crore. The latest update from Sacnilk states that the film collected ₹5 crore overseas additionally, taking its total overseas gross to ₹79.50 crore so far. This brings the total worldwide gross collection to ₹227.25 crore.

This means that Scene has now overtaken the box office haul of his previous release, Vishwanath & Sons, which stood at ₹209.46 crore. Scene is now the second highest-grossing film of Suriya, with Karuppu still his highest grosser at ₹363 crore. It remains to be seen whether Scene can manage to cross that record.
