Veera Dheera Sooran Movie Review

Rs 1.50 crores on day 8

According to trade reports from the Sacnilk website, ‘Veera Dheera Sooran’ earned an estimated Rs 1.50 crore on its eighth day across all languages, reflecting a downward trend in collections. The movie had an impressive weekend run, peaking on Sunday with ₹6.75 crore, but weekday drops have affected its momentum.

The film opened with Rs 3.2 crore on its first day and saw a boost on Saturday and Sunday. However, post-weekend, collections dropped significantly—Monday recorded Rs 4.5 crore, Tuesday fell to Rs 2.75 crore, and by Thursday, the earnings had dwindled to Rs 1.50 crore.

Occupancy rates
Despite its slowing performance, the Tamil version remains the primary driver of revenue, with an overall 15.70% occupancy on Day 8. The highest footfall was recorded in night shows (20.31%). Meanwhile, the Telugu version saw a 14.95% overall occupancy, with the afternoon slot performing the best (22.90%).
Featuring Vikram alongside S. J. Suryah, Dushara Vijayan, Siddique, and Suraj Venjaramoodu, Veera Dheera Sooran has received mixed reviews from audiences.
With the second weekend approaching, the film's box office fate will depend on whether it can regain momentum or continue its downward trend.
ETimes review
We rated the film with 3 stars out of 5 and our official review reads, “The film would have remained unique and engaging (and also justifying the Part 2 in the title) if Arun Kumar had trusted his audience and chosen to show us only the events that unfold during this one night. Perhaps he felt breaking the convention of providing a flashback would be too risky a move, but the director decides to give us the back story (at least the portions that matter), including the ‘Sudhakar sambavam’. This is where the film begins to lose its individuality as the back story that we eventually get doesn’t match with what we have all built up in our heads all through the first half; rather, it just feels so routine!”
