Meesaya Murukku 2 crosses ₹43 crore globally on Day 11, with India net at ₹31.70 crore — and still holding strong in its second week. The Hiphop Tamizha Adhi-directed musical drama isn’t just surviving the Tamil film rush. It’s outlasting it. After a solid second weekend, ₹3.45 crore on Friday, ₹2.90 crore on Saturday, ₹2.60 crore on Sunday.

The film dipped to ₹68 lakh on Monday, but that’s expected. Occupancy stood at 16% across 954 screens. Still, the numbers tell a story of endurance. It’s not just about the drop.

It’s about what remains. While Dorothy, Baththa, and Sigma hit screens this week, Meesaya Murukku 2 stays put. Tamil Nadu leads with ₹33.95 crore, followed by Karnataka at ₹2.21 crore. Kerala and rest of India added ₹45 lakh and ₹16 lakh respectively.

Andhra Pradesh and Telangana? A modest ₹4 lakh. The film’s global gross now stands at ₹43.21 crore, according to TOI, while Cinema Express puts the total at ₹36.81 crore gross in India alone. Discrepancies in reporting aside, one thing’s clear: the film’s staying power is rare.

No major festival bump. No star-studded re-release. Just steady, if quiet, momentum. And for a film built around three musicians fighting societal limits, that might be the most fitting arc of all.

Next stop? Day 12. And whatever happens then, the box office won’t be surprised.
