Suriya’s latest outing is off to a solid start at the box office. **“Vishwanath & Sons”** jumped 45% on its second day, riding the Independence Day holiday wave to collect ₹25 crore on Saturday alone — pushing its two-day total to a healthy **₹43.50 crore gross** in India.

## Strong Momentum, Bigger Test Ahead

Interestingly, the film’s best regional numbers came from the Telugu states, edging out its home turf of Tamil Nadu — though occupancy in TN remains healthy despite trade expectations of an even bigger number there. Directed by Venky Atluri, the movie is now projected to close its opening weekend around **₹63 crore gross**, assuming Sunday holds steady.

The real challenge starts next week. “Vishwanath & Sons” is currently sharing screens with two major holdovers — Lokesh Kanagaraj’s *DC* and Tom Holland’s *Spider-Man: Brand New Day* — making weekday hold crucial to its overall run. Positive word-of-mouth and reviews are currently working in its favor as it looks to fend off the competition.
