Summary
- 'Madharaasi' grosses close to ₹100 crores in a few days
- AR Murugadoss prayed at Palani Murugan temple for film's success
- Director's previous films 'Darbar' and 'Sikander' did not perform well

As of September 11th, 2025, director AR Murugadoss's latest film 'Madharaasi' has emerged as a major box office success. The film, which was released just a few days ago, has already grossed close to ₹100 crores, marking a significant comeback for Murugadoss.
The director, who had faced some disappointment with his previous films 'Darbar' (2020) and 'Sikander' (2023), has now found redemption with 'Madharaasi.' The film's strengths include Sivakarthikeyan's action performance, the contributions of Rukmini Vasanth and Vidyut Jammwal, and the music by Anirudh.
Murugadoss has revealed that he prayed at the Palani Murugan temple for the success of 'Madharaasi,' and his wish has now been fulfilled. In a surprising move, the director has also appeared in post-release interviews with a tonsured head, stating that he fulfilled a request he had made earlier for his "first film" again.
With 'Madharaasi' proving to be a crucial comeback for Murugadoss, fans and critics alike are now eagerly awaiting to see what the director has in store for his next project, which he has kept under wraps for now.
