Notably, the Tamil version has been the primary driver of its success, contributing a significant 52 crore. This indicates strong regional appeal and a loyal fanbase for the franchise within Tamil Nadu. Although the Telugu and Hindi (which released last week) versions haven’t garnered as much traction, their combined collections add up to approximately 10 crore.
Adding to its success, the overseas market has contributed a noteworthy 18.75 crore, pushing the worldwide gross collection to a mighty 92.86 crore. Made on a budget of approximately 40 crore, Aranmanai 4 has already achieved a healthy profit of 57%, making it a resounding commercial success.

Directed by Sundar C. and produced by Avni Cinemax and Benzz Media (P) Ltd., the film boasts an impressive cast featuring Sundar C. himself, Tamannaah Bhatia, Raashii Khanna, Santhosh Prathap, Yogi Babu, and Kovai Sarala.
With its captivating blend of scares and humour, Aranmanai 4 has successfully spooked and entertained audiences, solidifying its place as a major box office winner in 2024. But, the question remains – can Aranmanai 4 spook its way to the prestigious 100 crore club? While it has achieved a significant profit and dominated the box office for several weeks, reaching the 100 crore mark will require a strong showing in its remaining run.
