Maareesan box office prediction day 1: Fahadh Faasil’s Tamil comedy thriller likely to earn Rs 5 crore in India | Exclusive

Maareesan box office prediction day 1: Maareesan, starring Fahadh Faasil, is set to hit the screens on July 25, and this has created a buzz in the industry. The comedy thriller has become the talk of Kollywood as it will see the Vikram star share screen space with Vadivelu for the second time. They were last seen together in the well received Maamannan (2023). This excitement is set to help Maareesan open to a good response at the Indian box office.


Fahadh Faasil is in the limelight because of his latest Tamil film Maareesan. According to Ramesh Bala, a trade analyst, the comedy thriller is likely to collect Rs 5 crore (nett) in India on the first day.

“For this film, I feel a collection of Rs 5 crore is possible. Of this Rs 3 crore will come from Tamil Nadu. On the other hand, Kerala will contribute around Rs 1 crore as it is Fahadh’s home state,” he told Indiatimes.


If this prediction holds, Maareesan will fail to beat Maamannan. The Maari Selvaraj-directed political thriller earned Rs 8.5 crore on the first day and went on to emerge as a commercial success.

Maareesan is Fahadh Faasil’s fourth Tamil film. He previously appeared in Super Deluxe, Vikram and of course Maamannan.


Maareesan will premiere on Netflix after its run in theatres.


The platform acquired its rights a while ago. While the exact date is yet to be revealed, it may premiere on the platform nearly four weeks after hitting the screens tomorrow. This means we can expect it on OTT by the end of August.


Maareesan is an upcoming Tamil comedy-thriller directed by Sudheesh Sankar, with Fahadh Faasil in the lead. It centres on Dhaya, a small-time thief who chances upon an elderly man, Velayudham (played by Vadivelu) and comes up with a plan to con him.


Fate, however, has other plans as the two develop a bond during a road trip across Tamil Nadu. Kovai Sarala plays a key role in the film, adding another layer to the plot. The music is composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja.
