Suriya's Tamil film Scene has grossed Rs 174.40 crore worldwide in its first five days, Sacnilk reports. Rs 200 crore is now in sight.
Jithu Madhavan wrote and directed the action comedy. It opened in theatres on 6 November for the Diwali weekend.
Suriya plays DSP Inbaraj, a retired police officer who comes back to solve a serial killer case linked to one he cracked years ago.
On Tuesday, its fifth day, the film made Rs 12.85 crore net in India. That was about 40 per cent lower than Monday.
The India net total stands at Rs 97.40 crore. Overseas markets have added another Rs 61.25 crore.
It crossed Rs 100 crore worldwide in three days. Trade reports say it hit Rs 150 crore in four, the fastest such run of Suriya's career.
If it gets to Rs 200 crore, Suriya will be the first Tamil actor with three films past that mark in the same year.
The other two came out earlier in 2026: Karuppu, with more than Rs 300 crore, and Vishwanath and Sons, with more than Rs 250 crore.
Nazriya Nazim plays Maya, who helps with the investigation. Naslen co-stars, and Sushin Shyam composed the music.
Cinema Express calls it Suriya's best film this year. No major Tamil release is due for the next nine days, which helps.
