Maharaja Day 7: Vijay Sethupathi Just ₹1.16 Crore Away from Surpassing Kamal Haasan’s Record

Vijay Sethupathi's Maharaja has been making impressive strides at the China box office, keeping up a strong pace throughout its opening week. As of its seventh day in release, the film's estimated total earnings have reached an impressive ₹40.65 crore in China alone, with a worldwide collection crossing ₹149.78 crore.

While the film continues to perform well, it is now just a hair’s breadth away from breaking a significant milestone—surpassing Kamal Haasan's Indian 2 to become the fifth highest-grossing Kollywood film worldwide.

Maharaja China Box Office Performance in Week 1 The film's success in China is nothing short of remarkable. In its first week, Maharaja grossed ₹40.65 crore at the Chinese box office, with daily collections peaking at ₹9.21 crore on Day 2. This strong showing has helped the film not only maintain momentum but also edge closer to the ₹150 crore mark globally, an important milestone for any film.

Here's the breakdown of Maharaja's weekly performance in China:

Previews: ₹5.41 crore Day 1: ₹4.57 crore Day 2: ₹9.21 crore Day 3: ₹7.13 crore Day 4: ₹2.87 crore Day 5: ₹3.67 crore Day 6: ₹3.77 crore Day 7: ₹3.76 crore (estimated) Total (Week 1): ₹40.65 crore (estimated)

These figures reflect a steady pace of earnings, with each day contributing significantly to the overall total. It's clear that the Chinese audience is embracing the film, contributing substantially to its worldwide success.

Maharaja on the Verge of Surpassing Indian 2 Worldwide On the global front, Maharaja has already amassed ₹149.78 crore, and it’s now closing in on Kamal Haasan's Indian 2, which stands at ₹150.94 crore. With just ₹1.16 crore left to surpass Indian 2, Maharaja is poised to become the fifth highest-grossing Kollywood film worldwide. This would be a huge achievement for Vijay Sethupathi, whose stardom continues to soar internationally.

The current top 10 highest-grossing Kollywood films in 2024 are as follows:

The Greatest Of All Time – ₹464.54 crore Amaran – ₹339.86 crore Vettaiyan – ₹259.01 crore Raayan – ₹155.92 crore Indian 2 – ₹150.94 crore Maharaja – ₹149.78 crore (estimated) Kanguva – ₹107.11 crore Aranmanai 4 – ₹100.24 crore Ayalaan – ₹76.41 crore Thangalaan – ₹71.45 crore With Maharaja continuing to show impressive numbers, it’s only a matter of time before it crosses Indian 2’s total, securing its place among the top five.

Worldwide Collection Update Globally, Maharaja has been performing consistently across markets. With the total worldwide collection at ₹149.78 crore, the film has already shown significant growth from its previous total of ₹109.13 crore. As Maharaja heads towards breaking further records, the next target could well be the ₹150 crore milestone, and beyond that, the next major benchmark in the global box office.

Conclusion Vijay Sethupathi's Maharaja is undoubtedly making waves both in India and abroad, with a particularly strong presence in China. Its first-week performance sets it up for a continued run at the box office, and with the momentum it’s building, the film may soon cross new milestones, including surpassing Indian 2 to become one of the top five highest-grossing Kollywood films worldwide. Fans and industry watchers will be keen to see just how far Maharaja can go in the coming weeks.
