Five days in, and **Vishwanath & Sons** is telling two very different stories depending on which state you’re watching from. **Suriya’s** latest, co-starring **Mamitha Baiju**, has hit a steep Tuesday slump in its home turf of Tamil Nadu — even as Telugu audiences keep the film’s box office numbers afloat.

## Day 5: A Sharp Drop After an Already Weak Monday

Vishwanath & Sons collected **Rs. 6 crore** on Tuesday, continuing a downward slide from Monday’s already underwhelming numbers. That brings the film’s five-day total to **Rs. 81.50 crore gross**, with trade estimates suggesting it will close the week around **Rs. 90 crore**. For a film with this scale of production cost, that trajectory spells trouble.

## Vishwanath & Sons: Day-Wise Box Office Collections

| Day | Gross |
| --- | --- |
| Friday | Rs. 17.75 cr |
| Saturday | Rs. 26.00 cr |
| Sunday | Rs. 23.25 cr |
| Monday | Rs. 8.50 cr |
| Tuesday | Rs. 6.00 cr |
| **Total** | **Rs. 81.50 cr** |

## A Flop in Tamil Nadu, a Bright Spot in Telugu States

The most telling number here is territorial. In Tamil Nadu — Suriya’s home state and traditionally his strongest market — the film has dropped below the **Rs. 2 crore mark** on Tuesday, a clear signal that it has failed to connect with its core audience. By most trade standards, that qualifies as a flop on home turf.

The silver lining comes from the Telugu states (AP/TS), which have delivered the film’s strongest returns so far, contributing **Rs. 34 crore** — more than any other territory. If that region continues to hold, Vishwanath & Sons could still manage a respectable AP/TS run, even as its overall numbers remain shaky.

## Territorial Breakdown

| Area | Gross |
| --- | --- |
| Tamil Nadu | Rs. 31.00 cr |
| AP/TS | Rs. 34.00 cr |
| Karnataka | Rs. 9.75 cr |
| Kerala | Rs. 5.75 cr |
| Rest of India | Rs. 1.00 cr |
| **India Total** | **Rs. 81.50 cr** |

## From Karuppu’s Blockbuster High to a Rocky Landing

The drop is especially notable given Suriya’s recent form. Earlier this year, he delivered a massive blockbuster with Karuppu, crossing the coveted [box office](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box_office) milestone with ease. Vishwanath & Sons, by comparison, appears to be sliding back toward pre-Karuppu performance levels — a reminder of how unpredictable star-driven openings can be even for an actor coming off a hit.

For Vishwanath & Sons to have any real shot at recovering its costs, trade watchers say it will need something close to a miraculous turnaround in the coming days.
