Idhayam Murali is a coming-of-age Tamil love story starring Atharvaa and Preity Mukhundhan in the lead roles. The film also stars Fahadh Faasil and Kayadu Lohar in pivotal roles. Despite low buzz, the film held well at the box office in its first week. Idhayam Murali has put up a decent opening week at the box office, marking a major milestone in Atharvaa’s career.
Idhayam Murali Is Atharvaa’s Second Highest-Grossing Film
The film has collected a net total of 14.14 crore in India at the end of week 1. The film beat Atharvaa’s 2025 release, DNA, to become his second-highest-grossing film. His highest-grossing film is still occupied by Parasakthi, which was released in theatres earlier this year. The film had an ensemble cast including Sivakarthikeyan, Sreeleela, and Ravi Mohan. The film’s lifetime collection is 52.5 crore net in India. It would not be possible for Atharvaa’s film to surpass Parasakthi’s lifetime collection. Atharvaa’s latest release will have one more week of uninterrupted run before Thalapathy Vijay’s Jana Nayagan takes over the screens.
