Given Sivakarthikeyan's popularity in Tamil Nadu, the domestic market is driving its business in the South states. Meanwhile, Kerala, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka have continued to perform as expected, which is in the Rs 1 crore range. Outside of the South states, the collections are just Rs 20 lakh in four days. 

Maaveeran is a fantasy drama

Sivakarthikeyan stars as Satya in the film, who is a cartoonist. He lives in a slum with his family but when the government fools them on the pretext of giving them a house, he plans to die by suicide. After a failed attempt, he starts to hear an inner voice that guides his decisions.

The film has been liked for his light-hearted comedy and Sivakarthikeyan's earnest performance. It also stars  Aditi Shankar, Sunil Varma, Yogi Babu and Mysskin in key roles.
