Suriya's Scene collected an estimated Rs 20.25 crore net in India on day two (Nov 7), up 5.7% on its opening day, taking its two-day India net to Rs 39.40 crore and worldwide gross to Rs 81.50 crore, per Sacnilk estimates.
Suriya's Tamil action comedy Scene kept climbing on its second day in cinemas, collecting an estimated Rs 20.25 crore net in India on Saturday, November 7, a 5.7 percent rise on its Rs 19.15 crore opening day. The film, directed by Jithu Madhavan and also starring Naslen and Nazriya Nazim, has now taken Rs 39.40 crore net in India in two days.
The second-day takings came across 5,687 shows, with the Tamil version contributing Rs 16.50 crore from 4,324 shows and the Telugu version Rs 3.75 crore from 1,363 shows. Overall occupancy rose from 55 percent on day one to 62.5 percent on day two, and about 14.98 lakh tickets were sold on Saturday alone. India gross stands at Rs 45.75 crore, while overseas markets added roughly Rs 18 crore on Saturday to take the overseas total to Rs 35.75 crore. Combined, the worldwide gross after two days is an estimated Rs 81.50 crore.
Scene opened in theatres on November 6, arriving in the Diwali festive window, and marks the Tamil cinema debut of director Jithu Madhavan, Naslen and composer Sushin Shyam. The film is produced by Suriya and Jyotika under the banners of Zhagaram Studios and 2D Entertainment. Its second-day rise, rather than the usual drop after an opening, points to word of mouth doing the work once audiences had seen it.
Every figure here comes from Sacnilk's estimates, as reported by Filmibeat, and should be read as such — trade estimates, not final audited numbers from the producers. The overseas totals in particular are preliminary and may be revised as more collection data comes in. Other trackers land slightly lower: BoxOfficeIndia24 puts day two at Rs 20.15 crore and the two-day India net at Rs 38.15 crore, while ScreenStat, citing Hindustan Times, reports Rs 18.46 crore for day two and Rs 37.61 crore overall. The direction of the story is the same in all of them — a Saturday that beat Friday — but the exact totals differ by tracker.
The early numbers already put the film past its reported Rs 70 crore budget on worldwide gross within two days, a fast start for a Diwali release going up against a crowded festive slate. Whether the hold continues through Sunday, traditionally the strongest day of an opening weekend, will decide if Scene settles in as one of the season's big earners or fades after a bright start. The next trade updates, due after Sunday's collections are tallied, will show which way it goes.
