Suriya's family drama Vishwanath and Sons recorded a sharp jump at the box office on its second day. Greatandhra.com reported a net collection of Rs 22.25 crore in India on Saturday, a 45% increase over its Rs 15.35 crore opening day. Koimoi.com estimated the day two net at Rs 22-24 crore, citing a 56% jump driven by strong word-of-mouth and 59% average occupancy across 5,100 shows. The film's total India net after two days stands at Rs 37.60 crore (greatandhra) or Rs 37-38 crore (koimoi). Overseas, greatandhra.com reported that Vishwanath and Sons collected Rs 17 crore on day two, taking its overseas gross to Rs 31 crore. Combined with India gross of Rs 43.47 crore, the worldwide gross has reached Rs 74.47 crore. Koimoi.com noted that the film's day one overseas collection of Rs 14 crore was 27% higher than Suriya's previous release Karuppu. Made on a budget of Rs 130 crore, the film has recovered about 29% of that in two days, according to koimoi. Koimoi.com added that Vishwanath and Sons is close to entering the top 10 highest-grossing Tamil films of 2026 in India, currently just above Dhanush's Kara (Rs 37.56 crore lifetime). With the weekend continuing, the film is expected to post a strong extended weekend total.
