In a pack weekend for South Cinema, two big-tick release-Shivkarthikayan’s ‘Madharasi’ and Anushka Shetty’s ‘Gati’-Hit Theater on September 5, 2025. Early days collections, however, express a clear difference in their box office performance.
Directed by AR Murugados, ‘Madharasi’ caused a storm at the box office at the box office with a storm at the box office. Sacnilk.comThe action thriller recorded a overall occupation of 62.22 percent, with 77.40 percent impressive with the night. As the only major Tamil release of the week, the film has given Shivkarthikeyan a more strong start after the success of ‘Amarran’.
In contrast, ‘ambush’ managed the inauguration of about Rs 2 crore, as per initial estimates. Anushka Shetty -Starrer performed the best in Hyderabad with a 30.50 percent occupation, followed by Chennai, where the night shows reached 40 percent. Bengaluru and other centers saw a slow turnout, although business analysts hope to promote the number of positive words-mouth weekends.
Seriously, both films have received mixed reviews. India’s review of today’s ‘Madharsi’ stated: “The story had the ability to be another Thuppaki or Kathahi, but it settles for average. In addition to performance and clever action blocks, Madharsi is a film that does not rely on intelligence information.” While the film is attracted to the template of commercial entertainers, its legend depth is questioned.
The ‘ambush’, which is characterized by Anushka Shetty with Vikram Prabhu, has also been criticized for predicting. As India saw today: “Ghata shows the promise when it highlights the lead as a support system of each other, but this capacity is short-lived. The film returns to generic trops and predicted fights to run Sheela’s rebellion.” Despite the moments of strong character, drama loses its lead in execution.
With the hope of bringing up in the weekends, everyone’s eyes are on whether ‘Madharsi’ can maintain its speed and if ‘ambush’ can gain strength through the goodwill of the audience. For now, SivakartheKeyan’s action vehicle has taken commanding lead at the Tamil box office.
