Nooru Sami Box Office Collection Day 1: The Vijay Antony-Sasi reunion film receives encouraging reviews from audiences, particularly family viewers, after its theatrical release.
Director Sasi’s latest film Nooru Sami, starring Vijay Antony in the lead role, has opened to a promising start at the box office. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, the film earned approximately ₹80 lakh on its first day following its theatrical release on June 20.
The film marks the reunion of Vijay Antony and Sasi after the blockbuster success of Pichaikkaran. Expectations were high among audiences and trade circles, particularly because of the emotional storytelling associated with the director’s previous works.
Prior to its release, Nooru Sami generated positive buzz after several members of the film industry praised the movie during preview screenings. Director Sudha Kongara was among those who reportedly appreciated the film’s emotional depth, further increasing anticipation among moviegoers.
Following its release, audience reactions have largely been favorable. Viewers have particularly appreciated the film’s emotional narrative and its treatment of sensitive social themes. The story reportedly explores the subject of remarriage among widowed women and presents the issue in a realistic and compassionate manner.
Actress Swasika, who plays a pivotal role in the film, has received widespread praise from audiences and critics alike. Many viewers have described her performance as one of the strongest aspects of the movie. Vijay Antony has also been appreciated for his restrained and effective performance despite having comparatively limited screen presence.
According to available box office data, Nooru Sami was screened in nearly 1,200 shows on its opening day and collected around ₹80 lakh worldwide. While the figure is modest compared to big-budget commercial releases, trade analysts consider it a positive opening for a content-driven family drama.
Industry observers believe the film could witness growth over the weekend due to positive word-of-mouth among family audiences. Social media reactions suggest that many viewers connected personally with the film’s storyline, increasing the possibility of repeat audiences in the coming days.
The opening performance is particularly significant for Vijay Antony, whose recent releases have delivered mixed results at the box office. A strong theatrical run for Nooru Sami would strengthen his position in the family-drama genre while also marking another successful collaboration with director Sasi.
With favorable reviews, growing audience interest, and the advantage of the weekend holiday period, trade experts expect collections to improve further over the next few days. The film’s long-term success, however, will depend on its ability to sustain audience interest beyond the opening weekend.
