After surpassing the Rs 100 crore mark globally within just three days of its release, Suriya and Mamitha Baiju's Vishwanath and Sons has breached its next milestone. The family entertainer, which has been steadily bringing crowds to theatres, has now moved past the Rs 150 crore milestone and is inching towards Rs 200 crore.
Since its release on August 14, the film has been garnering positive reviews from fans and audience for its entertaining storyline and performances from the main cast including Suriya, Mamitha and Radikaa Sarathkumar. After opening with over Rs 15 crore at the box office in India, the film collected Rs 25.73 crore on its second day. On day 3, the film witnessed a slight dip to collect a net of Rs 20.55 crore. The weekday dip set in on Monday and Tuesday where it recorded Rs 7.80 crore and Rs 6.35 crore respectively.
While the Tamil version collected Rs 41.40 crore across the five days, Rs 30.90 crore came from the Telugu states, indicating a strong hold in the Telugu market and significant audience interest in the film.
An excerpt from our CE review of the film reads, "When the conflict is established, and the stakes are raised to just the right level, why leave it all to go the Meiyazhagan or Kadaikutty Singam way? Yes, it is fun to see an unabashed Suriya, who does a super-convincing job of selling the lighthearted nature of the proceedings; the stature of his character gets in the way of the sudden change in pacing. As long as the film stays focussed on the antics of Nirmala, Maddy, Sanjay, and the young baby at the centre of it all, Vishwanath & Sons is the thorough family entertainer that Indian cinema desperately needed."
Besides Suriya and Mamitha Baiju, the film also stars Radikaa Sarathkumar, Rajiv Menon, Raveena Tandon, Nasser, Sudha, Raghu Babu, Sunil Reddy, Bhavani Sre, Viva Harsha, Kaali Venkat, George Maryan, Hyper Aadhi, Sreeja Ravi, Sarvadaman Banerjee, Mathew Varghese, Kalyani Natarajan, Karate Karthik, and Master Charvik.
The film has music composed by GV Prakash Kumar, cinematography handled by Nimish Ravi and editing by Naveen Nooli.
