The Story in Brief
Tamil actor Karthi has called Suriya's new film 'Vishwanath And Sons' a wholesome movie that will keep people smiling throughout. Directed by Venky Atluri, the family entertainer hit theatres on August 14. Karthi praised the writing and performances, saying he would love to watch it again.
On day one, the film collected Rs 2.33 crore net in India from 1,652 shows, with 30.3% occupancy, according to Sacnilk. Suriya reportedly charged Rs 45 crore for his role. The film's OTT rights have been acquired by Netflix, though no streaming date has been announced.
The Indian Opinion
The early gap between 'Vishwanath And Sons' and Suriya's previous blockbuster 'Karuppu' is striking. That film earned Rs 15.50 crore net on day one. So is this a sign of fading star power, or just a quieter genre finding its audience over the weekend? Cue the usual narratives about 'comeback' and 'disappointment' from fan circles and trade pundits. The real test is Monday. If word of mouth pushes weekend numbers sharply higher, the initial comparison will look premature.
