Siva Karthikeyan starrer Maaveeran had a good start at the Indian box office, collecting Rs. 8.75 crores approx on its first day. The majority of the collections came from Tamil Nadu, where the film earned Rs. 7 crores approx while the Telugu dubbed version of the film, released under the name Mahaveerudu, had limited collections.

Although the opening day figures in Tamil Nadu are lower than Siva's previous two releases, Doctor and Don, they still fell within a similar range. Those two had superhit music, which was missing in the case of Maaveeran. The music of a film plays a crucial role in attracting audiences during the opening phase. In terms of first-day business in Tamil Nadu, Maaveeran ranks fifth among the highest-grossing films of the year, following Thunivu, Varisu, Ponniyin Selvan 2, and Maamannan.

Both Doctor and Don performed well in the long run, with final collections of Rs. 81 crores and Rs. 71 crores, respectively. The initial audience reception for Maaveeran is satisfactory, the film will hope to reach for Doctor’s number, though Don is probably a stretch. For reaching there the film needs to exhibit growth over the weekend and maintain stability during weekdays.

The territorial breakdown for opening day box office collections of Maaveeran is as follows:

Tamil Nadu: Rs. 7 crores
Karnataka: Rs. 0.65 crores
AP/TS: Rs. 0.75 crores
Rest of India: Rs. 0.35 crores
Total: Rs. 8.75 crores
