The Tamil action thriller Blast, starring Arjun, Preity Mukundhan, and Abhirami, continues its impressive run at the global box office. As the film completes five days in theatres, it is inching closer to the coveted Rs 30 crore milestone worldwide .
Released on May 28, 2026, the film has demonstrated remarkable staying power, particularly given its modest budget . According to trade tracker Sacnilk, Blast has amassed approximately Rs 26.47 crore globally by the end of Day 5 . However, other trackers like Jerin Georgekutty report the film has already reached around Rs 28.29 crore worldwide, suggesting the Rs 30 crore mark could be crossed within the next couple of days .
Day 5 Performance and Monday Test
On its fifth day — the first Monday after release — the film collected an estimated Rs 3.60 crore net in India, representing a 40 percent drop from Sunday’s Rs 6 crore collection . Industry experts consider a 40 percent weekday decline a healthy sign, especially when contrasted with recent high-budget Tamil films that suffered 60-70 percent plunges due to poor word-of-mouth .
The film's total India net collection now stands at Rs 17.55 crore, while the domestic gross has reached Rs 20.17 crore . The Tamil version remains the primary driver, contributing Rs 3 crore on Day 5 from 1,863 shows, while the Telugu version added Rs 60 lakh from 844 shows .
Overseas and Budget Recovery
Overseas markets added approximately Rs 75 lakh on Monday, bringing the total international gross to Rs 6.30 crore . Against a reported production budget of Rs 18 crore, Blast has already crossed its theatrical breakeven mark, establishing itself as a profitable venture in the small-to-mid-budget category . The film's strong word-of-mouth has been evident in its performance, with collections actually exceeding its opening day figures on the first Monday .
Directed by debutant Subash K. Raj and produced by AGS Entertainment, Blast tells the story of a middle-class family trained in martial arts who are forced to battle a dangerous criminal gang . The film also features Ravi Basrur of KGF fame making his Tamil debut as music composer . With the Rs 30 crore global milestone seemingly imminent, all eyes are now on how the film performs through its second weekend.
