'Draupathi 2's Low Opening Sparks Box Office Worries

The Tamil epic film 'Draupathi 2' commenced its box office journey on Friday, January 23, 2026, with an underwhelming collection of Rs 20 lakhs net in India, according to early estimates. The film recorded a mere 14.42% overall occupancy in Tamil Nadu on its opening day, with morning, afternoon, and evening shows showing weak numbers. Set between modern times and 14th-century India, 'Draupathi 2' explores themes of power, ambition, and betrayal within the backdrop of the Delhi Sultanates and the Hoysala Empire. Directed by Mohan G, the film features Richard Rishi, Rakshana Indusudan, and Natarajan Subramaniam. It highlights valor, sacrifice, and religion through its period drama narrative. Online reviews present a mixed bag, with some viewers praising the performances, particularly those of Richard Rishi and Rakshana, and the historical setting. Critics also noted strong BGM by Ghibran Vaibodha and menacing portrayal by Jani Chiragjani as the Sultan.
