Key Highlights

  • Mandaadi crosses ₹80 crore in Tamil Nadu, aiming for ₹100 crore milestone.
  • Soori leads the rural sports drama, directed by Mathimaran Pugazhendhi.
  • Film has already grossed over ₹100 crore worldwide, including Telugu version.
  • A ₹100 crore mark in Tamil Nadu would be historic for a non-star hero film.

Soori’s rural sports drama 'Mandaadi' is on the verge of making box office history in Tamil Nadu, with the film closing in on the coveted ₹100 crore milestone in its home state. This achievement would place 'Mandaadi' among a select group of films, as only star-driven projects have previously reached this figure in the region.

Directed and written by Mathimaran Pugazhendhi, 'Mandaadi' features Soori in the lead alongside Suhas, with Sathyaraj and Mahima Nambiar playing pivotal roles. The film, produced by RS Infotainment, has already crossed ₹80 crore at the Tamil Nadu box office, according to recent reports. Its strong performance is not limited to Tamil audiences; the Telugu version has also found commercial success, further cementing the film's pan-South appeal.

Earlier this month, industry coverage highlighted that 'Mandaadi' had become the biggest hit of Soori’s career, with significant traction in both Tamil and Telugu markets. The film’s global collections have already surpassed ₹100 crore, marking Soori’s entry into the elite club of centurion grossers.

The rural sports backdrop and powerful performances have resonated with audiences, driving sustained interest weeks after release. If 'Mandaadi' manages to cross the ₹100 crore mark in Tamil Nadu alone, it will set a new benchmark for non-star hero films in the region. The industry is watching closely to see if the film can achieve this rare feat, which would be a landmark moment for both Soori and director Mathimaran Pugazhendhi.
