Veera Dheera Sooran First Week Box Office Disappoints

The Tamil action thriller Veera Dheera Sooran, starring Chiyaan Vikram and directed by SU Arun Kumar, hit theaters on March 27, 2025, with high expectations riding on Vikram’s star power and the film’s gritty narrative. However, despite positive word-of-mouth and critical praise for its raw storytelling and action sequences, the film has posted a surprisingly underwhelming performance at the worldwide box office in its first week.

The film’s opening day was marred by a legal dispute with B4U Media, resulting in canceled morning and afternoon shows on March 27 across across Tamil Nadu and beyond.

Tamil Nadu has been the film’s lifeline, grossing around ₹27.60 crore in the first week. The Telugu version struggled contributing a mere ₹1.79 crore, while other regions like Karnataka and Kerala added little, overshadowed by L2: Empuraan’s dominance. Overseas, the Middle East led, followed by North America, though the latter was hampered by the premiere cancellations.

Here’s the breakdown of the first week collections

As “Veera Dheera Sooran” enters its second week, the film faces a critical juncture. The sharp decline in weekday collections signals a loss of momentum. For Vikram and director S.U. Arun Kumar, the focus may now shift to the prequel, “Part 1,” to restore the franchise’s box office glory.
