Scene’s Kerala run hits ₹16.30cr in three days — and it’s not slowing down. Suriya’s Tamil action comedy, directed by Jithu Madhavan, crossed the ₹16 crore mark at the state box office on Day 3, according to film industry tracker AB George’s figures shared on X. The film opened on November 6 with ₹6 crore, dipped slightly to ₹4.80 crore on Saturday, then bounced back with ₹5.50 crore on Monday, a sign of strong weekday momentum.

That puts Scene among the top five biggest Tamil openings ever in Kerala, just behind Jailer 2, Leo, Jailer, and Coolie. It’s also Suriya’s highest-grossing film in the state so far. The film, produced by Jyotika and Suriya under Zhagaram Studios with 2D Entertainment, marks Madhavan’s debut in Tamil cinema and introduces actor Naslen and composer Sushin Shyam to the pan-Indian market.

With technical credits from Vineeth Augustian (cinematography), Ajmal Sabu (editing), Vishnu Govind (audiography), and Ashwini Kale (production design), Scene is now entering its fourth day. The real test? Whether the weekend dip was a blip or a trend. If the weekday numbers hold, the film could push past ₹20 crore in Kerala.

But that depends on how audiences respond to the second half of the week. And right now, they’re still showing up.
