On its 18th day, the Tamil film **"Idli Kadai"**, directed by Dhanush, approached a total box office collection of around **Rs 72 crore** but its daily earnings showed a significant slowdown[4]. Key points about the film's box office journey are: - Opened strongly with a Rs 11 crore net collection on day 1, marking Dhanush's third-biggest opening in Tamil cinema for 2025[1]. - By day 11, the film had reached close to Rs 47 crore, though growth had flattened by then[5]. - At the end of its second week (day 16), "Idli Kadai" had collected approximately Rs 58.7 crore in total. The film earned Rs 6.6 crore in its second week alone but showed reduced occupancy (13.71%) on day 16[3]. - The collection growth decelerated after day 16 but kept inching closer to Rs 72 crore by day 18[4]. - The film's initial positive reception in the Tamil market contributed to its solid opening but the momentum slowed down sharply after the first two weeks[1][4]. Thus, while "Idli Kadai" had a promising start and a respectable total collection nearing Rs 72 crore, its box office performance tapered off in the later days of its theatrical run.
