Overview
- The Tamil sequel released on Friday and stars Vishnu Vishal and Aishwarya Lekshmi under Chella Ayyavu’s direction.
- Box-office trackers report that by the end of Day 5 the film had crossed Rs 25 crore worldwide and earned Rs 18.4 crore India net (Rs 21.14 crore India gross).
- Trade data show the film recovered roughly 68.15% of its Rs 27 crore production budget within five days and Sacnilk estimates for Day 6 raise India net to about Rs 19.65 crore and India gross to about Rs 22.61 crore across 1,871 shows.
- Gatta Kusthi 2 has overtaken Vishnu Vishal’s previous top grosser Ratsasan (around Rs 20 crore) to become his highest earning film so far.
- Analysts say the film could fully recoup its production cost within a week and possibly reach near Rs 50 crore worldwide if weekday holds, though reaching conventional ‘hit’ status would require about Rs 54 crore net in India; the film also ranked among 2026’s stronger Kollywood opening weekends.
