Maargan Box Office Collection Day 1: Vijay Antony’s Thriller Earns ₹85 Lakh, 183% Higher Than Last Film Hitler
Maargan Box Office Collection: Vijay Antony’s Maargan opens with ₹85 lakh on Day 1, 183% more than his last film Hitler. Despite tough competition, the thriller earns strong reviews and may enter top Tamil film of 2025.
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.
