Soori’s sea-based sports drama, *Mandaadi*, wasn’t initially viewed as a major box office threat until the arrival of its trailer. Soori, who recently transitioned to lead roles starting with *Viduthalai*, commands one of his biggest projects yet, with reports suggesting his salary for the film reached 25 crore. The movie is now generating strong ticket sales and positive audience feedback following its theatrical release alongside *Sardar 2*.
How Much Did Mandaadi Earn In 2 Days?
Playing across approximately 300 screens in India, the sports action drama brought in 4.85 crore net on its opening day. It managed to outperform *Sardar 2* out of the gate despite the Karthi-starrer benefiting from a pre-established franchise. Positive initial reviews quickly won over viewers, driving Day 2 earnings to 6.55 crore—a 35% jump compared to the premiere.
After two days, *Mandaadi* sits at a net domestic total of 11.4 crore, translating to 13.45 crore in gross receipts. Overseas markets have added 2.5 crore so far, lifting the picture’s worldwide gross to 15.95 crore.

Beats Sardar 2 in the Clash
*Mandaadi* has emerged as the clear underdog of this theatrical face-off. Because the trailer dropped just days prior to the premiere, its impressive visual elements caught moviegoers completely off guard, prompting many to pick *Mandaadi* over *Sardar 2* on day one. First-day first-show reactions favored *Mandaadi*, whereas *Sardar 2* left crowds underwhelmed. Even with franchise support, *Sardar 2* suffered a steep 45% drop on its second day with 2.5 crore. *Mandaadi* currently holds a massive 64% lead over its competitor as both features head further into their opening weekend.
