Sivakarthikeyan and AR Murugadoss's 'Madharasi' faced a significant box office drop in its second week after a strong opening. The film's collections declined sharply from Monday, with Day 9 earnings estimated at Rs 1.35 crore, bringing the total India net collection to Rs 53.15 crore. Despite a promising start and a star-studded cast, 'Madharasi' struggled to maintain its initial momentum.

The Indian box office witnessed a fierce competition among five films, with 'The Conjuring: Last Rites' dominating with Rs 18 crore on its opening day. Sivakarthikeyan's 'Madhraasi' followed with Rs 13 crore, while 'Baaghi 4' earned Rs 12 crore with a 'Buy One Get One' offer. Other releases, 'Ghaati' and 'The Bengal Files,' lagged behind in initial collections.
