Suriya and Mamitha Baiju’s family drama Vishwanath & Sons has earned a worldwide gross of about Rs 108-110 crore in its opening three days, according to box-office trackers. The film, directed by Venky Atluri, was released on August 14 and saw growth through the weekend, with Cinema Express reporting a total of Rs 110.22 crore gross and tracktollywood.com estimating Rs 108 crore. In India, the film collected around Rs 67-68 crore net from all languages. Pinkvilla notes the Telugu states led with Rs 27.25 crore, slightly ahead of Tamil Nadu's Rs 26.25 crore. Overseas contributions are estimated at Rs 10-40 crore, with Cinema Express citing Rs 10 crore from international markets. The film recorded 57.58% occupancy on day three, peaking at 65.77% in afternoon shows. Reviews have been largely positive, praising the wholesome storyline and sensitive handling of a taboo subject, though some critics point out predictability and lagging portions. The film faces a breakeven target of Rs 200 crore, according to tracktollywood.com, and will need a sustained run in week two to prove profitable.
