Suriya has become the first Tamil actor ever to have three films with a gross collection of more than 200 crore in the same year: Karuppu, Vishwanathan and Sons, and now Scene. On Wednesday, Zhagaram Studios, the actor and his wife Jyotika's production banner, revealed that his recent film with director Jithu Madhavan has earned over 200 crore. The collection for the film in India dropped even more on Wednesday, the sixth day of its release, from 12.85 crore on the day before to 8.05 crore, according to data from Sacnilk. Interestingly, according to Sacnilk data, the Scene box office collection worldwide stands at 188.50 crore even now.

The coming weekend is going to be massive for director Jithu Madhavan's Tamil debut for it to have a great chance of crossing the 300 crore mark. November 13 will see the release of director Madhumita's John Doe, starring Arjun Das as a police officer. Further, one of the most highly anticipated films of 2026 will hit theatres on November 20: the Dhanush-Mammootty starrer Om, directed by Rajkumar Periasamy.

On the same Friday next week, films such as Sathyavan Savithiri, starring Keerthy Suresh and Mysskin, and Vijay Antony's Appa Kutty are also set to hit theatres.

Coming back to Scene, the film follows a police officer (Suriya) who looks into a murder case that resembles a 'Perfume Killer' case he once solved. It also stars Nazriya Nazim as Maya, an ally to Suriya's protagoinst, and Naslen as an evil antagonist named Eeshwaran. The film has brought Nazriya back to Tamil cinema 12 years after Thirumanam Enum Nikkah and it has marked Naslen's debut in the industry.

Also making his debut with the film in Tamil is composer Sushin Shyam, who has earned much appreciation for his diverse soundtrack in it.
