Keerthy Suresh and Karthik Subbaraj’s Tamil film Dorothy has managed to maintain a steady pace at the box office during its opening days. After showing growth through the weekend, the film faced its first major test on Monday, and the Day 4 numbers have offered a positive sign for the film’s theatrical run.
Released on September 25, 2026, Dorothy stars Keerthy Suresh alongside Sananth and Rishikanth. The film is directed by Karthik Subbaraj and has been attracting attention for its unconventional storytelling. According to the latest box office figures reported by Koimoi, the film earned around ₹85 lakh net in India on its first Monday, taking its four-day total to approximately ₹4.40 crore net.
Dorothy Box Office Collection Day 4
The film opened with around ₹90 lakh on Day 1. While the beginning was relatively modest, Dorothy picked up momentum over the weekend.
On Saturday, the film collected approximately ₹1.25 crore, followed by around ₹1.40 crore on Sunday. The Monday collection stood at about ₹85 lakh.
Dorothy Day-Wise Box Office Collection
| Day | Collection |
|---|---|
| Day 1 – Friday | ₹0.90 crore |
| Day 2 – Saturday | ₹1.25 crore |
| Day 3 – Sunday | ₹1.40 crore |
| Day 4 – Monday | ₹0.85 crore |
| Total | ₹4.40 crore |
These figures are India net estimates reported by Koimoi. The corresponding gross collection was reported at around ₹5.19 crore after four days.
Just 5.56% Drop From Opening Day
The most notable part of Dorothy’s Monday performance is the relatively small decline from its opening-day collection.
The film earned ₹90 lakh on Friday and ₹85 lakh on Monday, which translates to a drop of only around 5.56%. Koimoi notes that a first-Monday decline of less than 40% from the opening day is generally considered a positive sign in box-office analysis.
The film also recorded a roughly 39% drop compared with Sunday, when it collected around ₹1.40 crore.
Another factor highlighted in the report is that Dorothy saw an increase in its screen count compared with its opening day, while its occupancy remained around the same level as Day 1.
Keerthy Suresh’s Film Gains Momentum After Slow Start
Dorothy did not open with a huge number, but its day-by-day movement has been relatively steady. The film recorded growth on both Saturday and Sunday before settling at ₹85 lakh on Monday.
Other box-office tracking reports have also recorded the film’s weekend growth. Sacnilk listed the first three days at ₹90 lakh, ₹1.25 crore and ₹1.51 crore respectively, putting the three-day India net at approximately ₹3.66 crore.
There are some differences between box-office tracking sources regarding individual day figures, which is common with early estimates. Koimoi’s latest report places the four-day India net at ₹4.40 crore.
What’s Next for Dorothy?
With the first Monday showing a comparatively limited drop, the next few days will be important for Dorothy. The film will need to maintain its weekday collections and benefit from audience interest if it is to build a longer theatrical run.
The movie’s rural Tamil Nadu setting and its story around caste divisions, violence, friendship and human dignity have also contributed to discussion around the film. Dorothy had its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival before its theatrical release in India.
For Keerthy Suresh, the film also adds another distinct project to her recent filmography, with the actress taking on a character-driven role in Karthik Subbaraj’s directorial.
As of Day 4, Dorothy has collected approximately ₹4.40 crore net in India, with Monday contributing ₹85 lakh. The film’s performance in the coming weekdays will determine whether it can sustain the momentum generated during its opening weekend.
