Prison (Sirai) Box Office Collection Day 2
Prison (Sirai) Box Office Collection Day 2 earned an estimated ₹0.66 crore net in India by Sacnilk, showing a dip from the opening day but holding steady amid mixed word-of-mouth. Numbers like this often signal a film finding its audience slowly, especially for a gritty drama without big-star hype think of those underdog Tamil flicks that build steam over weekends.
Occupancy hovered around 40-50% in key Tamil Nadu spots like Chennai and Madurai, with evening shows pulling better crowds as reviews trickled in.
Fans in multiplexes buzzed about the raw cop-prisoner tension, though some grumbled about the pacing in early screenings. Sacnilk data points to a total of ₹1.71 crore over two days, not blockbuster territory yet, but respectable for a debut director's outing. A small theater owner in Coimbatore shared how walk-ins picked up post-matinee, hinting at organic growth kinda like that one friend who skips the party start but shows up when it gets real.
Prison (Sirai) Box Office Collection Day-wise
Day 1 kicked off with ₹1.05 crore net, a solid opener driven by curiosity around its true-story vibes and Vikram Prabhu's intense turn. Day 2 settled at ₹0.66 crore, a 37% drop typical for mid-budgeters without mass songs or action blasts yet it beat expectations in single screens. Here's a quick, no-frills table of the numbers so far:
| Day | India Net (₹ Cr) | Occupancy (Avg Tamil Nadu) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1.05 | 55-60% |
| 2 | 0.66 | 45-50% |
| Total | 1.71 | - |
Worldwide, whispers put it near ₹2 crore gross by Day 2, with US premieres adding a bit from expat crowds. Not explosive, but steady reminds of those 2003-era films that relied on story over hype, digging into post-blast tensions without overdoing the drama.
About Prison (Sirai) Movie
Prison (Sirai), also known simply as Sirai, follows a cop escorting a prisoner from Vellore to Sivagangai court in 2003, sparking clashes rooted in prejudice and duty. Directed by newcomer Suresh Rajakumari, it flashes back to 1997 Coimbatore blasts, exploring a cop's choices shoot or chase? through Vikram Prabhu as Kathiravan and Akshay Kumar's debut as the undertrial Abdul Rauf. Runtime clocks at 2 hours 4 minutes, tight enough to keep tension simmering.
Reviews call it "arresting" for its cop drama focus, sidestepping clichés with real-feeling prejudice and redemption arcs. No flashy fights, just conversations that hit hard like that scene where the cop rethinks his trigger finger years later. IMDb sits at 8.8/10 from early votes, praising the duo's chemistry. Shot lean, it feels authentic, pulling from true events without preaching; audiences note the quiet power, though some wish for more pace in the middle.
