Suriya’s “Vishwanath & Sons” Crosses Rs 115 Crore — But Not Where You’d Expect

A Tamil film making its real money in Telugu theaters? Now that’s a plot twist worth talking about. Suriya and Mamitha Baiju’s family entertainer “Vishwanath & Sons” just wrapped up a solid second weekend, adding another Rs 22.25 crore to its tally and pushing its 10-day gross to Rs 115.25 crore at the Indian box office. But the real story here isn’t just the number — it’s where that number is coming from.

Vishwanath & Sons: Weekend 2 Breakdown

The film opened its second Friday at Rs 5 crore, before climbing to Rs 8.40 crore on Saturday and Rs 8.85 crore on Sunday — a natural weekend upswing typical of word-of-mouth holds. Combined with its Rs 93 crore first-week haul, the film has now comfortably crossed the Rs 100 crore mark.

The Telugu States Are Carrying This Film

Here’s the twist: despite being an original Tamil-language film, “Vishwanath & Sons” is performing best in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana (APTS), where it has collected Rs 49 crore — even edging past its home turf collections of Rs 43.75 crore in Tamil Nadu. Karnataka added Rs 14 crore, while Kerala contributed Rs 7 crore.

What’s Next for the Film?

Directed by Venky Atluri, the film is expected to slow down as Yash’s “Toxic” arrives in theaters this weekend, pulling audience attention away. However, an upcoming festival weekend could give “Vishwanath & Sons” a fighting chance to hold steady a little longer.

The bigger takeaway: while the film looks set to be a clear HIT in Telugu markets, its underwhelming home-state numbers mean Tamil Nadu distributors are likely staring at losses — a reminder of how unpredictable regional box office dynamics can be.
