Karthik Subbaraj’s 10th directorial venture, Dorothy, has successfully completed its second weekend at the ticket windows. Starring Keerthy Suresh, Sananth, and Rishikanth, the film tackles bold, unconventional themes—blending a rural gangster drama in the first half with a road drama focusing on the LGBTQ+ community in the second.
Released to a highly specialized target audience, the critically appreciated drama has maintained a steady pace at the box office. Benefitting from its strong Tamil stronghold and the second Sunday momentum, Dorothy has now officially crossed the ₹10 crore net mark domestically while breaching the ₹12 crore milestone globally.
Here is a complete, detailed breakdown of the Dorothy Day 10 box office collections, language-wise performance, and its overall worldwide theatrical run!
Day 10 Box Office Breakdown: Second Sunday Jump
Despite its niche, controversial subject matter, the film saw a noticeable jump during its second weekend. With a musical score heavily praised by Maestro Ilaiyaraaja, the film drew dedicated cinephiles across urban multiplexes.
According to tracking data from Sacnilk and reports by The Times of India, the film collected an estimated ₹1.25 crore net in India on Day 10 (its second Sunday).
This weekend bump has officially taken the Total India Net Collection for Dorothy to ₹10.40 crore. Concurrently, its domestic gross collection perfectly matches its worldwide total, standing at ₹12.01 crore.
| Day | India Net Collection (₹) | Occupancy (Tamil) |
| Day 8 (Second Friday) | ₹1.17 Cr | 57.1% |
| Day 9 (Second Saturday) | ₹1.12 Cr | 50.4% |
| Day 10 (Second Sunday) | ₹1.25 Cr | 51.1% |
| Total India Net | ₹10.40 Cr |
Tamil Version Dominates The Ticket Windows
The box office success of Dorothy is heavily skewed toward its original Tamil language release. While the film was also dubbed and released in Telugu on October 2, the primary revenue stream remains its home state.
Out of the total ₹10.40 crore India net, the Tamil version has emerged as the undeniable main contributor.
- Tamil Net: ₹9.99 crore (accounting for over 96% of the total earnings).
- Telugu Net: ₹41 lakhs (reflecting a highly limited release and late start).
During its 10th day, the Tamil version recorded a solid 51.1% overall occupancy, driven largely by evening and night shows in key centers like Chennai and Coimbatore.
Worldwide Run and The Road Ahead
With zero contributions from overseas markets reported thus far, the entire Worldwide Gross for Dorothy is driven by its domestic performance, currently resting at ₹12.01 crore.
Having premiered at the prestigious Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) prior to its theatrical release, Dorothy was never positioned as a massive commercial potboiler. Karthik Subbaraj has deliberately crafted an artistic, message-driven drama that sparks necessary conversations. Moving into its second week, the film’s primary goal will be to maintain steady weekday drops to maximize its final theatrical lifetime before shifting focus to its highly anticipated OTT premiere.
