Suriya’s crime comedy Scene has found a second wind at the box office. The Scene box office collection day 9 figures are in, and the film earned Rs 8.40 crore net in India on its second Saturday, 14 November 2026, a jump of 40 percent over the Rs 6.00 crore it collected on its second Friday. That single day has pushed the nine-day India net total to Rs 126.10 crore, taking the film past the Rs 125 crore mark in India and keeping its worldwide gross on course past Rs 220 crore.

The second Saturday number matters because it reverses the weekday slide, and the Scene box office collection day 9 figures underline just how strong the revival is. After the opening weekend, Scene had settled into the familiar pattern of a big release: Rs 12.85 crore on Tuesday, Rs 8.05 crore on Wednesday, Rs 6.25 crore on Thursday and Rs 6.00 crore on Friday. A 40 percent Saturday jump on top of that flat Friday shows audiences are still discovering the film through word of mouth, and trade trackers are now talking about the Rs 150 crore milestone in India as a realistic next stop rather than a distant hope.
Scene Day 9 Box Office: The Saturday Bounce in Numbers
The Scene box office collection day 9 total of Rs 8.40 crore net came from 4,513 shows across 516 cities, with overall occupancy of 38.7 percent, according to live tracking. Evening shows were the strongest part of the day, with occupancy climbing to 56.38 percent, well above the 38.15 percent the film recorded during evening shows on its second Friday. That evening surge is the clearest sign yet that families and groups are choosing Scene for their weekend outing, even with Ramayana still drawing huge crowds in the same markets.
Here is the film’s day-wise India net run so far, according to trade tracker Sacnilk: Day 1 (Friday, 6 November) Rs 19.15 crore. Day 2 (Saturday) Rs 20.35 crore. Day 3 (Sunday) Rs 23.65 crore, the biggest single day of the run. Day 4 (Monday) Rs 21.40 crore. Day 5 (Tuesday) Rs 12.85 crore. Day 6 (Wednesday) Rs 8.05 crore. Day 7 (Thursday) Rs 6.25 crore. Day 8 (Friday, 13 November) Rs 6.00 crore. Day 9 (Saturday, 14 November) Rs 8.40 crore. The nine-day India net total stands at Rs 126.10 crore, with the India gross at around Rs 146.50 crore.
The opening weekend alone delivered Rs 63.15 crore net in India, and the film crossed the Rs 100 crore net mark on Wednesday, its sixth day. The Scene box office collection day 9 jump means the second weekend is now doing exactly what the makers would have hoped for: the Saturday figure is higher than both Thursday and Friday of the second week, and the trend points to another healthy Sunday before the run settles into its third week.
Past Rs 125 Crore in India and Past Rs 220 Crore Worldwide
With the Scene box office collection day 9 update, the film has crossed two landmarks at once. In India, the Rs 126.10 crore net total means the Rs 125 crore mark is behind it, and the next round number in sight is Rs 150 crore. Worldwide, the film’s gross stood at Rs 211.20 crore after Day 8 on Sacnilk-based tracking, and Saturday’s India gross of around Rs 9.75 crore plus the overseas contribution takes the global total past Rs 220 crore.
The overseas run has been a quiet strength of this film, and the Scene box office collection day 9 figures show it is still adding steadily. After the first week, the international markets had contributed around Rs 74.50 crore, and the second weekend is adding to that steadily. The producers had already announced a Rs 205 crore worldwide figure earlier in the week, and the trade estimates have now moved comfortably past that number. For a Tamil film released in the shadow of a giant like Ramayana, holding its own overseas while growing at home is no small achievement.
Trade portal Pinkvilla has already called Scene a Clean Hit, and the Scene box office collection day 9 bounce only strengthens that verdict. A film that grows on its second Saturday is a film with genuine legs, and with no major Tamil release arriving this weekend, Scene has a clear run at the box office for the next few days at least.
A Hat-Trick Year for Suriya Gets Even Better
The Scene box office collection day 9 milestone also cements what is turning into the biggest year of Suriya’s career. Scene is his third consecutive success of 2026, after Karuppu and Vishwanath & Sons, and all three films have crossed Rs 100 crore worldwide. Karuppu, directed by RJ Balaji, is reported to have collected over Rs 310 crore worldwide, making it the biggest of the three, while Vishwanath & Sons also crossed Rs 200 crore worldwide.
Scene has now moved past Mandaadi, which finished at around Rs 102 crore, and trade watchers say the film is eyeing the lifetime haul of Suriya’s previous release, Vishwanath & Sons. Three Rs 200 crore worldwide grossers in a single calendar year is a rare feat for any Tamil star, and it has been achieved with three very different films: a rural action drama, a family entertainer and now a cop comedy drama directed by Malayalam cinema’s Jithu Madhavan.
Suriya himself has been celebrating the film’s run in his own way. He publicly thanked actor Tovino Thomas for his cameo in Scene, calling the film a love letter to Malayalam cinema, a nod to the Malayalam roots of both director Jithu Madhavan and co-star Naslen. The praise has come from outside the industry too: Mahesh Babu called Scene a must-watch, and his son Gautam Ghattamaneni shared a glowing Letterboxd review, writing that Suriya has been on a generational run and calling the film equally funny and menacing.
The Ramayana Factor in Tamil Nadu
There is one rivalry worth watching as Scene moves into its third week, and it comes from an unexpected corner. On Friday, 13 November, Ranbir Kapoor’s Ramayana collected Rs 3.16 crore gross in Tamil Nadu, ahead of Scene’s Rs 2.79 crore gross in the same state on the same day. Ramayana has now crossed Rs 30 crore gross in Tamil Nadu, a remarkable number for a Hindi-language epic competing directly with a Suriya starrer.
This is not bad news for Scene so much as a sign of how crowded the Tamil Nadu market has become. Ramayana is holding its own in a state where Tamil films usually dominate, and the two films have been sharing screens and audiences since the Diwali weekend. For Scene, the Tamil Nadu daily number will be worth watching across the second weekend, but the overall hold remains healthy: the film’s India total is built on strength across Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, Kerala and Karnataka, not on one market alone.
The second Sunday will be the real test. Advance booking for Day 10, Sunday 15 November, had already reached Rs 4.83 crore gross with 2,75,881 tickets booked across 4,525 shows, according to live tracking. If Sunday matches Saturday’s energy, Scene will close its second weekend with around Rs 18 crore to Rs 20 crore gross added in India over the three days, and the Rs 150 crore conversation will get a lot louder.
About the Film: Cast, Story and Makers
Scene is written and directed by Jithu Madhavan and produced by 2D Entertainment, the banner run by Jyotika and Suriya. Suriya plays the lead, a cop named Inbaraj whose swagger and attitude make him stand out, with Nazriya Nazim and Naslen in key roles. The film released in Tamil and Telugu on 6 November 2026, on the Diwali weekend, and it is Suriya’s 47th film as a leading man.
The story follows Inbaraj, an eccentric police officer forced to reopen an unfinished, mysterious case from his past. The investigation takes him back to an old case that bears a striking resemblance to a series of murders he had previously solved, involving a killer known as the perfume killer. The film marks Nazriya Nazim’s return to Tamil cinema after 12 years, while Naslen makes his Tamil debut, and the mix of dark comedy and investigation is what audiences and critics have responded to most.
Our earlier report on the Scene box office collection day 8 numbers covered the film’s Clean Hit verdict and its crossing of Rs 200 crore worldwide; the Scene box office collection day 9 update confirms that the second weekend has given the run a fresh push, and the film is now chasing Rs 150 crore in India.
Scene OTT Release: Not Announced Yet

The film is still in the middle of its theatrical run, and with the second weekend underway, the makers are unlikely to confirm digital plans until the box office run settles. We will update this article when the OTT partner and premiere date are announced.
