Meiyazhagan started off well by earning 3.05 crores. On Saturday, it jumped well and added 5.30 crores. Again, on day 3, it jumped by 7.54% to earn 5.70 crores, taking the overall collection to 14.05 crores net at the Indian box office. Including taxes, it equals 16.57 crores gross.

However, to become a big success, the film will need to show a minimal drop today and show a steady trend during the remaining weekdays. So, it’s currently a wait-and-watch game.
