Youth Hits 227.5% ROI in Five Days, Now the No. 3 Most-Profitable Tamil Film of 2026

A tiny 6 crore budget coupled with a steady first weekday hold pushed it into Koimoi’s Super Hit zone.

Overview

  • - Youth has collected an estimated 19.65 crore net in India after day five, or 23.18 crore gross, according to Sacnilk as reported by Koimoi.
  • - The film earned 1.83 crore on day five, a 47.71% drop versus day two because day one was a Ugadi holiday, which Koimoi says clears the usual under-50% weekday test.
  • - On a reported 6 crore cost, Koimoi pegs the return on investment at 13.65 crore for 227.5% returns, giving the film a Super Hit verdict.
  • - With that ROI, Youth moves past Thalaivar Thambi Thalaimaiyil to rank third in 2026 Tamil profitability, trailing With Love and Thaai Kizhavi.
  • - Sacnilk’s day-wise trend shows 3.6 crore (day 1), 3.5 crore (day 2), 4.9 crore (day 3), a peak 5.25 crore (day 4), and 1.83 crore (day 5), and Koimoi notes the total could approach 25 crore net by week’s end; “net” is revenue after taxes, while “gross” is total collections.
