Amaran Box Office Collection Day 1: Sivakarthikeyan’s latest release Amaran, a biopic of the decorated Indian Army officer Major Mukund Varadarajan, has achieved a remarkable opening at the box office. On its first day, Amaran earned Rs 21.25 crore net in India, marking the highest opening for any Sivakarthikeyan film to date. This milestone has further solidified Sivakarthikeyan's place as a box office star, with audiences in Tamil Nadu showing overwhelming support. The film garnered Rs 15 crore gross in Tamil Nadu alone, competing strongly among this year’s top regional films.
Directed by Rajkumar Periasamy, Amaran follows the heroic story of Major Mukund, portrayed by Sivakarthikeyan, who was an Ashok Chakra recipient known for his valorous contributions in a counterterrorism mission during his service with the 44th Rashtriya Rifles in Jammu and Kashmir. Sai Pallavi stars as Indhu Rebecca Varghese, the late major’s wife, delivering a touching performance that complements the narrative. The cast includes Bhuvan Arora, Rahul Bose, Lallu, Shreekumar and Shyam Mohan, adding depth to the compelling storyline.
Amaran Movie Budget:
The film’s production budget was substantial, reportedly around Rs 130 crore, inclusive of promotion expenses.
Amaran Movie OTT Release:
Additionally, Netflix has reportedly acquired the digital streaming rights, boosting anticipation among fans for an OTT release, although the streaming date remains undisclosed. This acquisition has further heightened expectations for Amaran's success, as the platform’s reach could expand the film’s viewership beyond the theatrical audience.
