A.R. Murugadoss’s Madharaasi, starring Sivakarthikeyan and Rukmini Vasanth, has emerged as one of the biggest hits of 2025. The film recently crossed the ₹100 crore mark at the box office, prompting the team to celebrate with a cake-cutting ceremony. Sivakarthikeyan, Murugadoss, and composer Anirudh joined in the celebrations, sharing moments of joy that quickly went viral on social media. Fans joined in the excitement online, trending the hashtag MadharaasiCelebration.
Despite the success, the absence of the producer at the celebration sparked curiosity and speculation among fans. Industry sources say that while the film has done well, reaching ₹200 crore at the box office seems unlikely given its current theater run. However, satellite and OTT rights are expected to contribute significantly to the overall profits, helping balance the production costs, reportedly over ₹150 crore.
Madharaasi marks the first collaboration between A.R. Murugadoss and Sivakarthikeyan, and it has been praised for its engaging storytelling, performances, and music. The film’s popularity is not just measured in numbers but also in the enthusiastic support from fans, both in theaters and online. The viral celebration videos, coupled with fan excitement, show that the film has struck a chord with audiences.
Thanks to this combination of box office performance, fan love, and additional revenue from digital rights, Madharaasi has secured its place as one of the most successful Tamil films of the year, demonstrating the continuing star power of Sivakarthikeyan and the strong directorial pull of Murugadoss.
