- Ranks 7th highest opening of 2025 in Tamil cinema
On October 2, 2025, the Tamil film Idli Kadai, starring Dhanush and Nithya Menen, officially released in theaters. The movie, which had a low pre-release buzz, has managed to score an impressive opening at the box office.
According to the latest box office data, Idli Kadai earned a net collection of ₹10.60 crore on its first day. This figure has surpassed Dhanush's previous biggest opener, Captain Miller, which earned ₹8.80 crore. With this, Idli Kadai has secured the 7th highest opening of 2025 in the Tamil film industry, or Kollywood.
The word-of-mouth for the movie is a mix of positive and negative, but the overall response has been mostly favorable in the Tamil belt. The film is expected to enjoy a nationwide boost today due to the Gandhi Jayanti and Dusshera holidays, which could lead to improved footfalls and a potential entry into the top 5 opening weekend collections in Kollywood.
Dhanush has managed to create history in his home state of Tamil Nadu, as Idli Kadai has grossed ₹10.70 crore, surpassing his previous biggest opener, Raayan, which earned ₹10.60 crore. This makes Idli Kadai Dhanush's biggest opener of all time in the state.
