The Vijay Antony starrer Tamil crime thriller Maargan has been witnessing a decent pace at the box office. However, it is yet to enter the list of the top 10 highest-grossing Tamil films of 2025 at the Indian box office. Let’s take a look at where the film stands at the Indian box office after day 11.

Maargan box office collection day 11

According to Sacnilk, on its 11th day, the movie amassed 18 lakhs when it came to the day-wise collection. Compared to its second Friday, this was a drop of around 18%. Overall, the 11-day collection at the Indian box office stands at 10.68 crores.

This also includes the occupancy from the Telugu box office. Including the taxes, the gross domestic collection of Maargan stands at 12.60 crore. The movie is however, falling prey to the latest Tamil releases which is inevitably increasing the competition at the box office.

Maargan Box Office Collection Day 7 ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Maargan, starring Vijay Antony, Ajay Dhishan, and others, wrapped up its first week yesterday. After starting the journey on a decent note, the film maintained a decent pace, and so far, it has managed to earn a healthy number at the Indian box office. Yesterday, on day 7, it crossed the 7 crore mark in net collection. But is it enough for the film? Has it emerged as a successful affair? Keep reading for a detailed collection report!

Reception of the film

Directed by Leo John Paul, the Tamil crime thriller was theatrically released on June 27, 2025. Upon its release, the film opened to mostly positive reviews from critics. Even among the ticket-buying audience, the word-of-mouth has been mostly favorable. This positivity helped it maintain a steady pace on weekdays after a good opening weekend.

The Vijay Antony starrer Tamil crime-thriller Maargan was released at the box office on June 27, 2025. Despite a tough competition, the film has managed to establish a good stronghold for itself. Let’s take a look at where the film stands at the Indian box office after day 2.

Maargan box office collection day 2

The Vijay Antony starrer opened at 85 lakh which was not a very bad start considering that the movie had a low buzz. Interestingly, it amassed a 183% higher opening than Antony’s last release which was the 2024 film Hitler. Hitler had opened at 30 lakh, and inevitably, the actor’s 2025 release fared way better with its opening.

Now, on its 2nd day, the movie saw a stellar growth of around 65%. According to the early estimates in Sacnilk, the film earned 1.41 crore on its second day. Overall, the 2-day collection at the Indian box office stands at 2.26 crores.

Narivetta Box Office (Closing Collection): Brings An Achievement For Tovino Thomas! (Photo Credit –Facebook)

Tovino Thomas’s film Narivetta has finally ended its theatrical run missing the hit mark at the box office. The action drama was released on May 23, 2025, and the Mollywood film brought another success to the Malayalam box office in 2025. While it would have been great if the film could bring more profits, it still ended after a successful run.

Tovino Thomas Vs Dhyan Sreenivasan

Tovino Thomas clashed at the box office with Dhyan Sreenivasan’s Detective Ujjwalan and won the box office clash, delivering much higher profit than the comedy film.

Is Malayalam Film Narivetta A Hit Or A Flop?

Narivetta is mounted on a budget of 10 crore at the box office, and it earned a total of 18.39 crore at the box office, churning out a profit of 83.9%. It missed the hit mark at the box office by 1.61 crore.

Sitaare Zameen Par Box Office Day 9: Aamir Khan Clearly Isn’t Scared Of Maa! (Photo Credit –YouTube)

Aamir Khan’s Sitaare Zameen Par has refused to bow down in front of Maa’s horror. On the second Friday, the film earned more than the opening of Kajol’s film, and now, on the second Saturday, day 9, the film has managed to grow further!

Aamir Khan Is Growing Big!

On the 9th day, Aamir Khan‘s sports dramedy managed to grow by almost 102% at the ticket window, with the Bms sales of the film skyrocketing like never before! By the end of the day, the film might manage to bring another miraculous figure at the box office.

Sitaare Zameen Par Box Office Bms Sales

On the 9th day, the second Saturday, June 28, by 2 Pm, Sitaare Zameen Par managed to register a ticket sale of 71.3K. This is a growth of almost 102% from the previous day,...

Maa Box Office Day 2 Bms Sales: Will Kajol Win Over The Weekend?(Photo Credit –YouTube)

Kajol’s horror film Maa has opened with a decent number at the box office. The film opened at 4.93 crore at the box office, and there was considerable growth on day 2 in the ticket window. Interestingly, the film is underperforming and staying lower than Aamir Khan’s Sitaare Zameen Par.

Kajol Witnesses Minimal Growth

Kajol’s horror film, helmed by Vishal Furia, has witnessed minimal growth in the ticket window and in the theaters on the second day, Saturday. Hopefully, it gets the numbers right for a decent weekend at the box office as well.

Maa Box Office Day 2

On the second day, Maa witnessed a growth of almost 11% on BookMyShow, with ticket sales for the film hitting 32.3K from 8 Am to 3 Pm. This is a slight increase from the previous day when the film...

Kannappa Box Office Day 2 Vs Kuberaa: Who Is Leading The Battle? (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Vishnu Manchu’s Kannappa has witnessed a drop at the ticket window after an underwhelming start at the box office on day 1. The mythological drama has opened at the box office at 8.95 crore. On the second day, the film seems to be dipping; blame it on the mixed bag of reviews and word of mouth!

Despite starring three superstars – Prabhas, Akshay Kumar, and Mohanlal in promising cameos, Vishnu Manchu’s film is surrendering to the competition from Dhanush and Nagarjuna’s Kuberaa that is growing at the box office on its second Saturday as well!

Kannappa Box Office Day 2 Vs Kuberaa’s 2nd Saturday!

On June 28, Saturday, Kannappa has witnessed a drop with its Bms sales. The film has registered a ticket sale of 51.3K from 6 Am to 3 Pm. A visible drop of almost 27% from the previous day,...

Thug Life Worldwide Box Office (Closing Collection): Kamal Haasan Starrer Misses The 100 Crore Mark(Photo Credit –Instagram)

Thug Life, starring Kamal Haasan, has concluded its disastrous run at the worldwide box office. Released amid high expectations, the film failed to create any impact. Both in India and overseas, it couldn’t mint big numbers and eventually, ended up earning a disappointing collection at the worldwide box office. Shockingly, it didn’t even touch the 100 crore mark globally. Keep reading for a detailed closing report!

Reception of the film

Directed by Mani Ratnam, the Kollywood magnum opus also starred Trisha Krishnan and Silambarasan Tr in key roles. It was theatrically released on June 5, 2025. Cinephiles were excited because it marked the reunion of Kamal Haasan and Mani Ratnam after 1987’s Nayakan. Unfortunately, the duo failed to entertain the audience.

It opened to mixed to poor reviews from critics. Even among the ticket-buying audience,...

Maa Box Office Day 1: Kajol’s Film Has A Decent Opening! (Photo Credit –YouTube)

Kajol’s Maa is off to a decent start at the box office. The film has opened better than expected. However, it is yet to be seen if the film maintains its pace over the weekend. The mythological horror film helmed by Vishal Furia is getting decent word-of-mouth.

Kajol Fares Lower Than Sitaare Zameen Par!

Interestingly, Kajol’s horror film has fared lower than Sitaare Zameen Par’s second Friday at the box office. Aamir Khan’s film earned in the range of 7 – 8 crore at the box office, and Kajol’s film opened much lower on the same day! For Friday, the film offered Buy 2 Get 1 (Buy 2 Get 1) on ticket sales.

Maa Box Office Day 1

On the opening day, Friday, June 27, Maa earned 3.5 crore at the box office. The film has a limited release across 1500 screens in India.

Maargan Box Office Day 1: Vijay Antony’s Film Opens Well!(Photo Credit –Facebook)

Vijay Antony’s new arrival at the box office has opened well despite competition from Kannappa and Kuberaa. The crime thriller, which had limited buzz, has opened to positive word-of-mouth. In fact, Maargan has opened much better than the actor’s last release.

Vijay Antony’s Last Release

Vijay Antony’s last release at the box office was Hitler. The Tamil film was released in 2024, and it opened at the box office with 30 lakh. Antony’s new film has earned 183% more than his last release. It would be interesting to see if the entire lifetime of Hitler 2.28 crore, gets surpassed by Vijay Antony‘s latest release.

Maargan Day 1 Box Office

On the opening day, Friday, June 27, Maargan opened at the box office with 85 lakh, including the Tamil and Telugu collections. It would be interesting to see...

Ripley creator Steven Zaillian has reflected on the possibility of future seasons. While he has concerns about the amount of time it would take to produce, he says he would go for it under the right circumstances. Should the show continue, there is plenty more source material for it to adapt.

The possibility of Ripley season 2 gets a reasonably positive update from its creator. The show, which is based on the iconic 1955 thriller novel The Talented Mr. Ripley by Patricia Highsmith, was originally developed for Showtime but was eventually picked up by Netflix and premiered on April 4. It stars Andrew Scott as Tom Ripley, who is asked by the parents of his acquaintance Dickie Greenleaf (Johnny Flynn) to visit him in Italy and convince him to return home, at which point Ripley begins spinning an epic web of deceit and murder.

Collider held an interview with creator and showrunner Steven Zaillian to discuss Netflix's Ripley.

ReviewWhile 'Pichaikkaran 2', directed by Vijay Antony himself, has a lot of empty rhetoric on poverty, some crucial plot threads are left hanging.Vijay Antony in Pichaikkaran 2: Youtube/Saregama TamilPichaikkaran 2 begins with the slogan ‘Money is injurious to the world’. Logically then, the film should be about how money destroys those who have it, but the entire film is about how amazing life can be when you have wealth and how terrible it is when you don’t have it. As slogans go, it’s safe to say that this one misses the mark by a mile. The first Pichaikkaran (2016), directed by Sasi and starring Vijay Antony, was about a rich man who lives as a beggar because a sage tells him that this will help him save his mother who is in a coma. Pichaikkaran 2 is directed by Vijay Antony himself – and follows pretty much the same formula,...

Reacting strongly to the news of a 20-year-old student being pushed to her death by her stalker in Chennai, actress Sakshi Aggarwal has expressed the opinion that the stalker, identified as Sathish, should be hanged to prevent such incidents from recurring again.

Sakshi isn’t the only celebrity to have raised her voice seeking death penalty for the stalker.

Actor and music director Vijay Antony too had expressed a similar opinion a couple of days ago.

Taking to Twitter, Vijay Antony had in Tamil placed a request to the judge who would be hearing the case.

Vijay Antony said that instead of patiently investigating the case for 10 years and then hanging Sathish, who had killed the victim and was responsible for the suicide of her father,...

Popular actor and music director Vijay Antony has urged families not to take their disputes to a third person and instead look to resolve it themselves.

Taking to Twitter, the actor wrote in Tamil, “If you have a problem in your family, as far as possible, look to keep the fight amongst yourselves. If not, leave and depart.

“Or else, fall at their feet and somehow convince them and live together. Don’t ever call a third person at any cost to resolve the issue. They will complicate things and finish the story.”

This is not the first time that Vijay Antony has made such a suggestion.

On Gandhi Jayanti this year, the actor had urged his followers not to give up hard work.

He had then said, “Don’t stop working. Difficulties don’t last for the ones who work.”

On the work front, Vijay Antony has a series...
