Nayanthara's Mookuthi Amman 2 ended its first weekend in theatres with an estimated Rs 8.93 crore net in India, according to trade reports that rely on figures from the box-office tracking site Sacnilk. These are tracker estimates, not numbers released by producer Vels Film International. The same estimates put the film's India gross for the three days at Rs 10.35 crore.
Directed by Sundar C, the film opened on Friday, 6 November 2026, and its business grew across each day of the weekend. Trade reports list Rs 1.88 crore net on Friday and Rs 2.45 crore net on Saturday, followed by Rs 4.60 crore net on Sunday, 8 November. That Sunday figure is roughly 88 per cent above the Saturday total and the best day of the run so far.
How the weekend added up
The tracker's estimates suggest audiences filled more seats on Sunday even though the film had fewer screenings. Occupancy averaged about 58 per cent across some 1,800 shows that day, against roughly 32 per cent on Saturday from slightly more than 1,900 shows. Over three days the film played close to 5,850 shows across India.
The Tamil version supplied almost all of the money. It earned an estimated Rs 8.45 crore net over the weekend, while the Telugu version added about Rs 48 lakh. The tracker reports no overseas or worldwide figure yet, so the Rs 10.35 crore gross covers India alone.
One caution on reading these totals: published reports on Sunday's numbers draw on the same Sacnilk data, so the matching figures across outlets are repeats of one tracker, not separate confirmations. The producers have not shared official collection figures in the material reviewed for this article.
The film arrived during a crowded Diwali stretch. Suriya's Scene opened on the same Friday, and Rajinikanth's Jailer 2 was still running in theatres.
Background
The first Mookuthi Amman, produced by Vels Film International, was the directorial debut of RJ Balaji and NJ Saravanan. Nayanthara played the goddess in a comedy that took aim at fake godmen. The team had planned a theatrical release in 2020, but the pandemic changed those plans, and the film went straight to Disney+ Hotstar, where it began streaming for Diwali in November 2020.
When Vels decided on a sequel, RJ Balaji and NJ Saravanan did not return as directors. Sundar C was announced to direct in September 2024, and the film was launched with a pooja in Chennai on 6 March 2025. At that event the makers described the new story as a standalone tale meant to start a fresh franchise, while Nayanthara returned to the title role.
Ishari K Ganesh produces the sequel through Vels Film International, with Avni Cinemax, Rowdy Pictures and Ivy Entertainment as partners. The cast includes Regena Cassandra, Yogi Babu, Abhinaya and Kannada actor Duniya Vijay, who makes his Tamil debut as the antagonist. Hiphop Tamizha Adhi composed the music, continuing his long association with Sundar C, and cinematographer Gopi Amarnath, who earlier worked with the director on Theeya Velai Seiyyanum Kumaru and Aambala, shot the film.
