Suriya and Mamitha Baiju's film, Vishwanath And Sons, has hit a significant milestone at the Indian box office, but its journey has been quite the ride. The movie made its way into the Rs 100 crore club on just its ninth day, with its strongest audience coming from the Telugu-speaking regions rather than its home state.
The film saw a notable boost on its second Saturday. After raking in about Rs 5 crore on its second Friday, it added another Rs 8.25 crore on Saturday, bringing its total for the second week to Rs 13.25 crore. With this surge, the overall Indian gross has climbed to around Rs 106 crore.

Looking ahead, the weekend is projected to contribute an additional Rs 20 crore to Rs 23 crore to the total, potentially pushing the film close to the Rs 115 crore mark. The big question now is whether it can keep up this momentum during the weekdays, especially with Yash's film, Toxic, set to hit theaters soon, bringing fresh competition.

Aug 24, 2026Interestingly, the standout surprise in the film's journey has been the response from the Telugu states. So far, Vishwanath And Sons has pulled in around Rs 45.50 crore in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. It's expected to surpass Rs 50 crore there and could ultimately wrap up its run somewhere between Rs 55 crore and Rs 60 crore.
This impressive performance has solidified the film as a clear hit in the Telugu markets, giving the creators plenty to celebrate, even though the story is quite different in Tamil Nadu.
In Tamil Nadu, the film has raked in about Rs 40 crore so far. While that’s a significant figure on its own, it seems to have fallen short of what fans typically expect from a Suriya film in his home state. The stark difference in performance between the two markets has become a hot topic in discussions about the film's box office journey.
Beyond these two key regions, the film has pulled in around Rs 12.75 crore in Karnataka and Rs 6.50 crore in Kerala, with the rest of India contributing about Rs 1.25 crore.
The overall scenario is quite intriguing. A Tamil film featuring one of the industry's biggest stars is gaining the most traction in the Telugu states, while the home market hasn’t shown the same level of excitement.
Nevertheless, hitting the Rs 100 crore mark in just nine days is no small feat, and the film now has a shot at wrapping up its theatrical run on a high note. The coming days will be crucial as it aims to maintain its momentum before the release of Toxic.
For now, Vishwanath And Sons has successfully turned its Telugu performance into a significant win, even though its results in Tamil Nadu leave the creators hoping for more.
