Suriya’s Vishwanath and Sons can’t surpass Karuppu after 5 days, earns Rs 128.60 cr worldwide

On the fifth day of its release, Suriya's romantic comedy Vishwanath & Sons has collected Rs 128.60 crore worldwide. According to Sacnilk, the film has earned Rs 7.33 crore across 5,021 shows in India, with an occupancy rate of 24.1 percent on its fifth day. Overseas, the movie has gathered a total of Rs 45 crore, bringing its overall worldwide gross to Rs 128.60 crore.

The year 2026 has been a successful one for Suriya, as he has had two massive hits: Karuppu and Vishwanath & Sons. Karuppu topped the box office with a worldwide gross of Rs 310 crore. Vishwanath & Sons opened at Rs 15.35 crore, with an impressive occupancy rate of 42.2% across 5,034 shows in India. The film's collection jumped significantly on day 2, reaching Rs 22.25 crore, followed by Rs 20.55 crore on day 3.

In comparison to Karuppu, Vishwanath & Sons has fallen short of expectations. While Karuppu gathered Rs 161.04 crore worldwide in its opening five days, Vishwanath & Sons is trailing behind. On its fifth day, the film earned Rs 12.75 crore net in India. Directed by Venky Atluri, Vishwanath & Sons is a romantic comedy also penned by Atluri. The film tells the story of a father reconnecting with his child's surrogate mother and stars Mamitha Baiju and Raveena Tandon in the lead roles. This marks Suriya's 46th film.

Suriya is currently working on two other projects, with both slated for release next year. Mamitha Baiju, who has been actively involved in the film industry, has also had a prosperous year, with Vishwanath & Sons marking her second release of the year after Jana Nayagan. She is set to appear in another romantic comedy, the Malayalam-language film Bethlehem Kudumba Unit, along with two more Tamil releases in the coming year.

It remains to be seen if Vishwanath & Sons will surpass the lifetime worldwide collection of Karuppu, which has earned Rs 310 crore.
