Box Office Report: Kamal Haasan’s Indian 2, Akshay Kumar’s Sarfira fail Monday test; know collection

Kamal Haasan starrer has crossed the 100 crore mark at the worldwide box office in its opening weekend and has become the highest-grossing Tamil film of 2024, beating Vijay Sethupathi’s action film Maharaja in just three days.

Akshay Kumar and Radhika Madan’s new film ‘Sarfira’ was released on July 12. Despite being a good film, it recorded the lowest opening day for Akshay. It is significant to note that Sarfira faced a box office clash with Kamal Haasan’s Indian 2 at a time when Prabhas’ Kalki 2898 AD was already dominating the box office. In such a crowded filmy time, audiences are not showing interest in watching Sarfira. On the other hand, Kamal Haasan’s Indian 2 was received well by the Tamil audience. But these films failed to pull back audiences in theatres on Monday.
