‘Maharaja’ Makes Rs 100 Crore Even Though ‘Kalki’ Sets a New Box Office Record for Tamil Films

One of the best films of the year, “Maharaja,” has broken the Rs 100 crore milestone at the global box office. With Vijay Sethupathi in the lead role, the movie has given the Tamil film industry, which has had trouble at the box office in the first half of the year, some hope. “Maharaja’s” third weekend global box office brought in Rs 100 crore.

The movie brought in about Rs 76 crore in India and about Rs 24 crore abroad. It became the highest grossing Tamil movie of the year at the global box office, surpassing the film “Aranmanai 4.” Despite the film’s team’s It that it made more than Rs 100 crore, the report stated that the horror-comedy ended its global run with a gross of Rs 99 crore. It is currently anticipated that “Maharaja” will make approximately Rs 105 crore at the box office upon its conclusion.

This is a significant accomplishment for any movie right now, as “Kalki 2898 AD” is performing incredibly well at the box office both domestically and abroad. With Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, and Deepika Padukone in the main roles, the movie is a global hit, earning over Rs 600 crore in its first five days of release. The film, which was directed by Nag Ashwin, has made Rs 343 crore net at home, including its first Monday’s revenue, which demonstrated its strong grip at the box office.

This is where ‘Maharaja’ finds it tough to face the ‘Kalki 2898 AD’-storm. The latter, which as of July 1 had a total gross of Rs 20 crore from the Tamil market alone, is predicted to increase given the widespread attention the movie is receiving. Right present, “Kalki” seems to have no limits. It is probably going to overtake “Maharaja” to become the highest-grossing Tamil film in India.

For the Tamil film business, however, the second half of 2024 appears to be more hopeful. With the exception of “Aranmanai 4,” “Garudan,” “Captain Miller,” and the re-release of Thalapathy Vijay’s “Ghilli,” the industry hasn’t experienced much success at the box office thus far.
