Siva Karthikeyan’s latest release, Amaran, is on a remarkable trajectory, quickly establishing itself as a blockbuster hit. The film, which debuted with universally positive feedback, achieved an outstanding opening day collection of approximately Rs. 35 crore. The momentum continued on Day 2, as packed theaters and strong demand suggest that Amaran is well on its way to entering the coveted Rs. 200 crore club.
As the film continues its successful run, it is poised to elevate Siva Karthikeyan into the Tier 1 category of actors in Kollywood. Projections indicate a potential gross exceeding Rs. 100 crore in Tamil Nadu alone, with an additional Rs. 25 crore expected from the Telugu-speaking states, where Amaran has been performing unexpectedly well since Day 1.
Overseas markets have also responded enthusiastically, opening with a double-digit gross and paving the way for Amaran to achieve a cumulative Rs. 50 crore from international audiences. The film has shown surprising resilience in Karnataka and Kerala, where it has outperformed expectations. The pre-release hype hinted at a strong opening, yet Amaran has exceeded even the most optimistic forecasts, dominating both the Tamil and Telugu markets and surpassing recent releases by Tier 1 actors. If this trend continues over the coming weekend, Siva Karthikeyan may become the first Tier 2 actor from Kollywood to cross the Rs. 200 crore mark.
