Idli Kadai Box office Collection Day 2
If anyone told me a film about dosa batter and family feuds would pack a punch at the box office, I’d have raised an eyebrow but Idli Kadai is doing exactly that! According to Sacnilk, the movie raked in about ₹10.26 crore (India net) on its second day of release, and that’s not just idle chatter it’s a genuinely impressive number for a Thursday, right after a ₹11 crore opening day. By the end of day 2, the film had already pushed past a sizable ₹21 crore India net, a total that would make most new releases jealous (and maybe a bit hungry for South Indian snacks).
A Quiet Thursday? Not Really
So, Thursday box office takings never as flashy as an opening day, right? But Idli Kadai’s Thursday felt oddly festive, with theaters in Tamil Nadu reporting nearly 60% occupancy. Trichy even clocked over 76% imagine the collective buzz during an interval, debating who stole the show: Dhanush, Nithya Menen, or that perfectly crisp idli from the title sequence. Meanwhile, Telugu regions weren’t as lively (just 23% occupancy), but hey, every family has its quieter cousins.
Why’s Everyone Talking?
Maybe it’s the cast that’s drawing crowds. Dhanush, back at the director’s chair and starring up front, Nithya Menen radiating charm, Arun Vijay doing his stoic thing, plus veteran Sathyaraj and Rajkiran so many reasons to drag a buddy (or half your extended family) to the multiplex. A friend messaged me after the show: “Bro, I don’t even eat idlis, but after this breakfast plans set for the week.”
- Day 1: ₹11.00 crore
- Day 2: ₹10.26 crore
- 2-day total: ₹21.26 crore
Looking Ahead
Now, is this as big as Dhanush’s action film Raayan? Not quite, but the word on the street is that this simple, feel-good drama has legs for the weekend. With the festival vibe kicking in and some positive word-of-mouth, things might keep rolling. And, for what it’s worth, there’s something honest about a movie that makes people laugh, cry, and text their moms, “Make idlis for dinner?”
Nobody can say for sure where it’ll land long-term but if early collections are any clue, this film isn’t running out of steam (or sambar) anytime soon.
