While Sivakarthikeyan and Sai Pallavi seem to be sizzling together in Amaran, which has literally stormed the box office, that film has well and truly emerged as a superhit this Diwali season. Directed by Rajkumar Periasamy, the film’s performance has made it the biggest box office success at the hands of hero Sivakarthikeyan so far and it is still attracting audiences in India as well as abroad. Here is how Amaran performed in its second week.
This is an incredible feat that has brought Sivakarthikeyan to a new career point, making him only the fourth actor in Kollywood to have achieved such huge collections, followed by biggies like Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan, and Vijay. Let’s take a closer look at how successful Amaran has been in the market with area-wise collection breakdown after 12 days.
Amaran has seen significant success across various territories in India, with its performance in Tamil Nadu standing out in particular. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the film’s earnings by region:
Tamil Nadu: Rs 123 crore
Tamil Nadu, Sivakarthikeyan’s home turf, has been the highest gainer in the film case. The story, music and star value went extremely well with the local audience and fetched a whacking volume of sales at the ticket windows and has gone into collecting over Rs 100 crore for its total collection.
Telugu States (Andhra Pradesh & Telangana): Rs 32 crore
Sivakarthikeyan’s popularity has been steadily increasing in the Telugu market, and it was Amaran that benefited from this; the collection of Rs 32 crore came in largely from Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. This action-emotion cocktail seems to have worked like a magic there too.
Karnataka: Rs 17 crore
Decent collections for Karnataka – Amaran has collected Rs 17 crore. The film goes to release and competition, so it might turn out to be a positive with such good collections for this movie.
Kerala and ROI: Rs 11 crore
While there have been collections from Kerala and other areas in India, these have been no less than Rs 11 crore. Perhaps it’s the universal theme and performances that have given the film that widespread appeal.
Rs 71.5 crore: Overseas Markets
Internationally, Amaran has performed remarkably well, raking in Rs 71.5 crore. It is this great performance overseas that has helped push Amaran beyond the Rs 250 crore mark. The overseas success of the film is a hint towards Sivakarthikeyan’s increasing popularity abroad and international acceptability of slick, well-made cinema from South India.

Total Box Office Collections
Combining the domestic and international collections, Amaran has managed to take home a worldwide gross of Rs 254 crore in just 12 days. As the film continues its successful run and positive word of mouth from the audience, Amaran should continue to do well at the box office while possibly aiming for crossing Rs 300 cr mark in its full theatrical run.
What Makes Amaran a Box Office Sensation?
Such tremendous performance by Amaran is due to a series of reasons that have clicked all audiences’ sentiment.
1. Compelling Storyline: Amaran has an interesting narrative with a mix of action and emotion-sensitizing moments. This has made it possible for a large audience to appreciate such a picture.
2. Good Guidance and Performance: Well due to the direction of director Rajkumar Periasamy and the performance by Sivakarthikeyan, Amaran emerged to be a movie to watch out for. The contributions of Sai Pallavi, how she shares her on-screen space with Sivakarthikeyan, added much strength to the plot.
3. High Production Values: Amaran boasts high production values in terms of cinematography to special effects, making the film stand out visually. This high production has largely attributed to the film’s success mainly in international markets where visual appeal is a great driver.
4. Effective Marketing and Strategic Release: The marketing team of Amaran was effective in creating the buzz it needed, the Diwali release coming during the holiday season when audience viewing increases, helped bank a robust opening for the ticket sales.
5. Sivakarthikeyan’s Rise to Fame: Amaran has taken Sivakarthikeyan to a new level which of course transcends Tamil Nadu. his popularity in the Telugu and Hindi belt has added to the high sums of the film. Among all this, is there a chance of Amaran getting into the Rs 300 crore club?
What seems to be the momentum it is carrying on in the coming weeks is likely to push it towards the Rs 300 crore mark. This would place it in an elite group of very few releases from Kollywood and further cement the credentials of Sivakarthikeyan as a leader in South Indian cinema. A very good two weeks would definitely do the trick in reaching this mark, especially considering the overseas markets are expected to contribute a big way.
