Vijay Antony’s latest release Maargan had a strong start at the box office, despite facing competition from films like Kannappa and Kuberaa.
Maargan Box Office Collection Day 1
The crime thriller managed to earn ₹85 lakh on its opening day (June 27), which is a massive 183% jump from the actor’s last film Hitler.
A Big Leap From Vijay Antony’s Last Film
Antony’s previous release, Hitler (2024), had opened with a modest ₹30 lakh and ended its lifetime run at around ₹2.28 crore. In comparison, Maargan has made a far stronger impact on Day 1 itself. With positive word-of-mouth, the film has a solid chance to surpass the lifetime collection of Hitler in just a few days.
Misses The Top 10 Tamil Openers of 2025
Although Maargan opened well, it narrowly missed entering the list of top 10 Tamil openers of 2025. To enter the list, it needed to cross ₹2 crore, the opening number of Tourist Family. However, with good reception and weekend momentum, the film still holds potential to climb the charts.
