Suriya’s film ‘Vishwanath And Sons’ is released and reports describe steady day-one box office performance alongside notable pre-release business. Times of India says the film clocks around Rs 200 crore in pre-release revenue, citing strong advance bookings in Tamil Nadu and highlighting the role of non-theatrical rights in the overall deal value. NDTV and Times of India also report that early audience reactions are positive.

On day one, NDTV characterizes the opening as steady, while Times of India provides a specific net figure, saying the film earns Rs 2.33 crore net across India on its first day. Times of India adds that reviews and audience response are helping the film aim for a larger opening compared with a prior title (“Karuppu”), and that the next few days will be important to judge its weekend and broader run. The outlets’ emphasis differs between pre-release revenue and initial theatrical numbers, but both point to an encouraging start.

The cast is reported by NDTV as Suriya in the role of Sanjay Vishwanath, an ageing international pistol shooter, with Mamitha Baiju, Radhika Sarathkumar and Raveena Tandon in key roles.
