Vishwanath And Sons Box Office Collection Day 8: Suriya Starrer Sees Jump on Day 8

Vishwanath And Sons Box Office Collection: Kollywood star Suriya's new film with Telugu director Venky Atluri, `Vishwanath and Sons`, is killing it at the box office. What's surprising is that its Friday collections were even better than Thursday's

Friday collections saw a surprising jump

Suriya has scored another hit with his latest movie, `Vishwanath and Sons`. The film, which released last week, is running successfully in theatres. It has really clicked with family audiences, who are flocking to see it. Even with new movies out this Friday, its collections didn't drop; in fact, they actually went up.

Vishwanath and Sons 8-day collections

The movie `Vishwanath and Sons` earned ₹4.50 crore on its eighth day, which is ₹30 lakh more than its Thursday collection of ₹4.20 crore. This proves the film is set to do even better over the weekend. In just 8 days, it has raked in a total of ₹149.77 crore, almost entering the ₹150 crore club. The India gross is ₹99.52 crore, with a net of ₹86.10 crore. The film also made ₹1.5 crore overseas on its eighth day, bringing the total to ₹50.26 crore.

Vishwanath and Sons break-even target

Interestingly, the film is earning more in its Telugu version than in Tamil. On day 8, the Telugu version made ₹2.40 crore, while the Tamil one made ₹1.85 crore. The movie's budget was ₹130 crore, and it did a theatrical business of about ₹90 crore. This means it needs to gross ₹180 crore to be declared a hit. Since it has already crossed ₹150 crore, it will likely hit its break-even point in the coming week.

A quick look at the film's story

Venky Atluri directed `Vishwanath and Sons`, which stars Suriya and Mamitha Baiju in the lead. The film also features Radhika Sarath Kumar, Raveena Tandon, Viva Harsha, and Sunil Reddy in important roles. Nagavamsi and Sai Soujanya are the producers. The story is a family drama where Suriya's character, a big shot, isn't keen on marriage. His mother, Radhika, wants him to settle down. He opts for surrogacy abroad, but when his child faces a minor health issue, the surrogate mother, played by Mamitha Baiju, has to enter their lives.
