Tamil film Maharaja has emerged as a SUPER HIT, grossing Rs. 46 crore at the Indian box office in its first week. Starring Vijay Sethupathi and Anurag Kashyap, this crime drama recorded the highest first-week numbers for a Tamil film this year, surpassing the Rs. 42 crore by Ayalaan during Pongal.

Additionally, Maharaja has grossed USD 2.10 million (Rs. 17.50 crore) overseas, with significant contributions from the Middle East, where it benefitted from the Eid holidays. The film's total worldwide box office gross stands at Rs. 63.50 crore after the first week and is poised to surpass the Rs. 100 crore mark by the end of its run.

The film grossed an amazing Rs. 11.50 crore in Telugu states, where the Telugu dubbed version has performed very strongly. Kerala also picked up after a slow start and ended the first week with more than Rs. 3.50 crore from just Rs. 30 lakhs first day.
