Director Jithu Madhavan's Scene continued its successful box office run on the fifth day of its release as well. That said, compared to the first four days of its release, the film saw a drop in its gross collection. According to data from Sacnilk, it came down from around 25 crore in the previous days to 14.95 crore at the India box office on Tuesday. So far this Wednesday, the film has earned 36.58 lakh from theatres. This takes the overall Scene box office collection to 113.52 crore in India. At the global box office, meanwhile, it has earned 174.40 crore.

With no other major releases in Tamil in the next nine days and positive word of mouth continuing to come in for the film, Scene is certain to cross the 200 crore mark in the coming days. If and when it goes beyond the milestone, it will make Suriya the first actor from Tamil cinema to have three films with a gross collection of more than 200 crore at the box office in the same year.

Earlier in 2026, the actor had two blockbusters: Karuppu, which reportedly minted more than 300 crore, and Vishwanath and Sons, which earned a gross collection of over 250 crore.

Critics have praised Scene, calling it Suriya's best film this year. Unlike Karuppu and Vishwanath and Sons, the film has received mostly positive reviews from critics and even audiences.

The film also stars Nazriya Nazim, Naslen, Anandraj, Lal, and Gajaraj, among others. It tells the story of a police officer (Suriya) who returns to work from retirement to solve a puzzling serial killer case that has an eerie connection to a previous case that he solved. Nazriya's character Maya assists Ibaraj in the investigation.
