Indian 2, starring Kamal Haasan, faced a significant drop in earnings on its eighth day of release, reaching just over ₹1cr, falling short of expectations. Despite grossing ₹70.4cr in the first week, the film struggled in Tamil Nadu, with low occupancy rates. The film has accumulated approximately ₹143cr globally and surpassed the 50cr mark in Tamil Nadu. Kamal Haasan's significant fees, reportedly 60% of the film's budget, reflect his star power. Indian 2 faced tough competition, mixed reviews, and challenges despite a strong opening, aiming to exceed the 150cr mark soon.
