In Short

• Suriya's Scene earns Rs 145 crore worldwide in opening weekend
• Scene is Suriya's third consecutive hit in 2026 after Karuppu and Vishwanath and Sons
• Film crosses Rs 50 crore nett in India in three days, Tamil version leads collections

Suriya's Scene has emerged as one of the box-office successes of the year, with the film earning Rs 145 crore worldwide in its opening weekend. The makers released an official poster announcing the milestone on Monday. Directed by Jithu Madhavan, the film hit theatres on November 6, alongside Ranbir Kapoor-Yash's Ramayana and Nayanthara's Mookuthi Amman 2, ahead of the Diwali weekend. It has emerged as the clear winner at the Kollywood box office.

2026 has been a milestone year for Suriya, with Scene marking his third consecutive box-office success after Karuppu and Vishwanath and Sons. While Karuppu is reportedly said to have earned Rs 310 crore worldwide, Vishwanath and Sons concluded its theatrical run with Rs 209 crore. With Scene now joining the list, the actor has scored a hat-trick of blockbusters this year.

The film has received largely positive reviews and opened its box-office run on a strong note. With Monday being a state holiday in Tamil Nadu, Scene is expected to maintain its momentum at the box office. In just three days, the film has crossed the Rs 145 crore mark worldwide.

According to trade website Sacnilk, Scene opened with Rs 19.15 crore nett (gross minus taxes) in India, followed by Rs 20.35 crore on Saturday and Rs 23.25 crore on Sunday (Diwali). Its three-day domestic nett collection has crossed Rs 50 crore, offering a promising start to its theatrical run.

The Tamil version is leading the film's domestic business, contributing the lion's share of the collections. The Telugu version has also chipped in, earning Rs 4 crore on Sunday alone.

Scene is also performing well in the international market. According to reports, the film crossed the $1-million mark in North America within just two days. Despite facing competition from Ramayana in overseas markets, the film has managed to hold its ground. Its international performance is a significant boost, particularly as its domestic business is largely concentrated in Tamil Nadu and Kerala.

Scene has also joined the list of Tamil films that crossed the Rs 100 crore mark worldwide within their first three days. While big-ticket releases such as Leo, Coolie and Jailer 2 achieved the feat on their opening day, several other Kollywood blockbusters took two to three days to reach the milestone.

Kerala has emerged as one of the biggest contributors to Scene's domestic box-office performance. The film collected Rs 10.50 crore gross in the state in its first two days, accounting for nearly 23 per cent of its India total. With Sunday's collections, it has crossed the lifetime Kerala gross of Karuppu (Rs 13.07 crore) in just three days. It had already surpassed Vishwanath and Sons, which earned Rs 8.19 crore in the state.

Suriya's strong fanbase in Kerala, coupled with director Jithu Madhavan's Malayalam cinema connect and the presence of Nazriya Nazim and Naslen, has helped Scene find an audience beyond Tamil Nadu. Kerala has now emerged as one of the film's strongest markets outside its home state.

Scene is an action comedy written and directed by Jithu Madhavan. Produced by Suriya and Jyotika, the film stars Suriya, Naslen and Nazriya Nazim. Anandaraj, Lal, Rajpriyan, Suresh Mathiyalagan and Gajaraj are also part of the supporting cast.
