Soori’s Tamil sports action drama Mandaadi continued its impressive theatrical performance on Day 4 (Sunday, September 13, 2026), while Karthi’s Sardar 2 recorded comparatively modest collections. The latest figures have firmly placed Mandaadi in the spotlight at the Tamil box office.
Day 4 Performance
According to Sacnilk, Mandaadi collected ₹13.05 crore net in India on its first Sunday. The film registered 60.2% occupancy across 3,874 shows. This marked a 30.5% growth over its Day 3 collection of ₹10 crore.
Comparison with Sardar 2
Karthi’s Sardar 2 collected around ₹2.45 crore on Day 4. After four days, its India net stands at approximately ₹11.60 crore, with worldwide gross around ₹17–18 crore. Mandaadi has clearly outperformed the franchise sequel during the opening weekend.
