The Tamil box office is currently witnessing an intriguing battle between two highly anticipated releases. On one side is Hiphop Tamizha Adhi’s youth-centric sequel, Meesaya Murukku 2, and on the other is Karthik Subbaraj’s 10th directorial feature, Dorothy, starring National Award winner Keerthy Suresh.
Both films managed to attract decent footfalls over their opening weekends. However, as the crucial Monday test arrived, the box office dynamics shifted significantly. While both movies experienced the standard weekday drop, Meesaya Murukku 2 established a clear lead over the Keerthy Suresh starrer.
Here is a complete, detailed breakdown of the Day 4 (Monday) box office collections, occupancy rates, and overall performance for both Dorothy and Meesaya Murukku 2!
‘Dorothy’ Day 4 Box Office Collection
Directed by Karthik Subbaraj and featuring a musical score by the legendary Ilaiyaraaja, Dorothy stars Keerthy Suresh alongside Sananth and Rishikanth. Despite receiving mixed-to-positive reviews, the film faced a noticeable deceleration on its first Monday.
According to the latest trade updates from Sacnilk, Dorothy collected an estimated ₹85 lakh net in India on Day 4. This marks a 39.3% drop from its Sunday collection of ₹1.40 crore. The Day 4 figures were recorded across approximately 770 shows, with the film registering a 33.43% overall Tamil 2D occupancy.
Looking back at its weekend performance, the film opened with ₹90 lakh on Friday. It saw marginal growth, collecting ₹1.25 crore on Saturday and ₹1.40 crore on Sunday, bringing its first-weekend total to ₹3.55 crore. With the addition of the Monday earnings, the total 4-day net collection of Dorothy stands around ₹4.40 crore.

On the other hand, Hiphop Tamizha Adhi’s highly awaited sequel, Meesaya Murukku 2, continues to draw crowds, proving the massive popularity of the franchise among the youth and college-going audiences.
According to Sacnilk’s live tracker, the movie collected a solid ₹2.65 crore net on Day 4 (Monday) across 1,640 shows. While this figure represents a 57.6% decrease from Sunday’s peak of ₹6.25 crore, minting over ₹2.5 crore on a working Monday is considered a very positive sign for the sequel’s lifetime theatrical run. The Tamil 2D version recorded a 34.0% overall occupancy, peaking at 43.08% during the night shows.
Meesaya Murukku 2 enjoyed a fantastic opening weekend. The film minted ₹3.30 crore on Day 1, jumped to ₹4.80 crore on Saturday, and secured ₹6.25 crore on Sunday, taking its opening weekend total to a massive ₹14.35 crore.
