Suriya’s latest outing, ‘Scene’, is enjoying a phenomenal response at the box office, with the film reportedly collecting more than Rs 100 crore worldwide within two days of its theatrical release.
According to Sacnilk’s box office estimates, the Jithu Madhavan-directed crime comedy earned Rs 21.75 crore on Sunday. The impressive weekend performance has pushed its total worldwide theatrical earnings past the Rs 100-crore milestone.
Delighted with the audience response, Suriya took to social media to share a picture with his wife Jyotika and express his appreciation for the film’s success. He thanked moviegoers for embracing the project across languages and geographical boundaries, adding that their encouragement meant a great deal to the entire team.
He also extended his Deepavali greetings to fans and well-wishers. In ‘Scene’, Suriya portrays Inbaraj, a police officer who finds himself investigating a fresh crime with striking similarities to a mysterious case he had previously cracked, known as the Perfume Killer case.
Nazriya Nazim plays Maya, who works closely with Inbaraj during the investigation. The film marks her comeback to Tamil cinema after 12 years. Her last appearance in a Tamil film was the 2014 romantic drama ‘Thirumanam Enum Nikkah’, featuring Jai.
The project also introduces director Jithu Madhavan to Tamil cinema. Naslen plays the central antagonist and has attracted attention for his performance, particularly for taking on a character different from his familiar roles in ‘Premalu’ and ‘Thanneer Mathan Dinangal’.
Suriya and Jyotika have jointly backed the film through Zhagaram Studios and 2D Entertainment. Jyotika’s unexpected cameo has also emerged as one of the highlights appreciated by audiences.
With strong word of mouth and impressive theatrical numbers, ‘Scene’ appears to have established itself as one of the major Deepavali releases.
