Scene collected ₹19.15 crore net in India on its opening day, making most of it from the Tamil version over Telugu. According to the trade website Sacnilk, it brought in ₹16.15 crore from the Tamil version alone, with the dubbed version collecting ₹3 crore. The film has also performed well overseas, collecting ₹12 crore.

Suriya has now beaten the openings of his other hits this year,Karuppu and Vishwanath & Sons. The actor just might score a hat-trick with his latest release now. RJ Balaji’s Karuppu, which was released in May this year, collected ₹15.50 crore on its opening day. It brought in ₹13.10 crore from Tamil and ₹2.40 crore from Telugu. Vishwanath & Sons had an opening of ₹15.35 crore in August, bringing in ₹9.15 crore in Tamil and ₹6.20 crore in Telugu. However, Jailer 2 and Jana Nayagan still hold the top spots this year with collections of ₹59.70 crore and ₹42.70 crore, respectively.
