Suriya’s ‘Vishwanath and Sons’ faces a significant box office slowdown in its first week, with Day 7 collections dropping 17.6% to Rs 4.20 crore.
Suriya’s latest film, ‘Vishwanath and Sons,’ concluded its inaugural week at the box office with a marked slowdown in collections. The drama garnered Rs 4.20 crore net in India on its seventh day, Thursday, representing a 17.6% decline from its Wednesday figures.

This Thursday’s collection brought the film’s total India net to Rs 81.60 crore, contributing to a worldwide gross of Rs 143.07 crore when combined with Rs 48.75 crore from overseas markets. The sharp decline on Day 7, following a Rs 5.10 crore haul on Wednesday, highlights a struggle to maintain momentum after a robust opening.
