Upon delivering a string of underperformers, including “Etharkkum Thunindhavan,” “Kanguva” and “Retro,” Suriya has made a roaring comeback in 2026. The actor has delivered three consecutive hits with “Karuppu,” “Vishwanath & Sons” and his latest Diwali release, “Scene.”
Beyond scoring three successes in a calendar year, Suriya is also on track to achieve a major box-office milestone. After “Karuppu” and “Vishwanath & Sons”, “Scene” is also anticipated to cross the ₹200 crore mark at the global box office, making Suriya the first Tamil star to deliver three ₹200 crore worldwide grossers in a year.
The action comedy currently stands at ₹154.09 crore and is expected to enter the ₹200 crore club by the end of this week.
Despite facing competition from Ranbir Kapoor, Yash and Sai Pallavi’s “Ramayana,” “Scene” has dominated its home market, outperforming the simultaneous Tamil release, Nayanthara-starrer “Mookuthi Amman 2,” by a huge margin.
“Scene” revolves around DSP Inbaraj, played by Suriya, who is drawn back into an unsolved case from his past. As he resumes the investigation, he joins forces with a group whose unconventional approach brings its own challenges, often blurring the line between helping and complicating the case.
Written and directed by Jithu Madhavan, “Scene” also stars Naslen and Nazriya Nazim, alongside Lal, Anandaraj and John Vijay. The film marks Nazriya’s return to Tamil cinema after a 12-year hiatus. Her last full-fledged role was in 2014’s romantic film “Thirumanam Ennum Nikkah” opposite Jai.
“Scene” features music by Sushin Shyam, cinematography by Vineeth Augustian and editing by Ajmal Sabu, with dialogues by Dravid Selvam. The film is produced by Suriya, Jyotika and Jaishree Damodaran under their banners, 2D Entertainment and Zhagaram Studios.
