In Short

• Jithu Madhavan's directorial earned over Rs 80 crore within two days
• Sacnilk reported Sunday theatre collections of another Rs 21.75 crore
• Nazriya Nazim returns to Tamil cinema after a 12-year absence

Suriya and Jyotika have a box-office milestone to celebrate this Diwali. Their latest production, Scene, has crossed Rs 100 crore worldwide, and the couple have thanked audiences for taking the film to theatres and embracing it across languages and regions.

The film, directed by Jithu Madhavan, had a strong start, earning over Rs 80 crore worldwide within its first two days, according to Sacnilk. It added another Rs 21.75 crore on Sunday, taking its worldwide collection past the Rs 100-crore mark.

Suriya marked the occasion with a photograph alongside Jyotika on social media, accompanied by a heartfelt note for the film's audience.

He wrote, "Our hearts are full of gratitude! The love and warmth you have shown Scene, across languages and borders, means the world to our Team, Jo and me. Thank you for coming to the theatres with so much trust. Your love gives us the courage to keep exploring our horizons. Forever grateful!"

He ended his message by wishing everyone a happy Diwali.

The response also makes this a special release for the couple, who have backed the film under their production banners, Zhagaram Studios and 2D Entertainment. Jyotika, in fact, has a surprise cameo in the film, which has been warmly received by viewers.

What is Scene about?

The film follows Inbaraj, whose latest investigation takes an unsettling turn when a new case begins to resemble the 'Perfume Killer' case he had solved earlier. Nazriya Nazim plays Maya, his ally and trusted partner as the investigation unfolds.

For Nazriya, Scene marks a return to Tamil cinema after 12 years. Her last Tamil release was Thirumanam Enum Nikkah (2014), in which she starred opposite Jai.

The film also marks Jithu Madhavan's directorial debut in Tamil cinema and features Naslen as the main antagonist. The actor has drawn praise for stepping away from the boy-next-door roles audiences have associated him with in films such as Premalu and Thanneer Mathan Dinangal.
