Maargan
Vijay Antony’s latest release Maargan had a strong start at the box office, despite facing competition from films like Kannappa and Kuberaa.
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.
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.
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.
Here’s a quick look at the highest Tamil opening day box office earners of 2025:
Maargan is a Tamil action crime thriller, featuring Vijay Antony in the lead. The film follows Dhruv, a cop from Mumbai Police, who is on the trail of a serial killer targeting young girls using a burning drug. However, the investigation takes a shocking turn when they realize the killer is more dangerous than they ever imagined. The film has impressed audiences, scoring a massive 9.7 rating on IMDb.
With ₹85 lakh on Day 1 and strong audience feedback, Maargan could become one of Vijay Antony’s most successful films. It now remains to be seen how the film performs over its opening weekend and whether it breaks into the elite box office list of 2025.
