With Love Box Office Collections: Abishan Jeevinth starrer nets massive ROI as global collections cross 30 crore mark
The Tamil film industry finds a surprise blockbuster in director Madhan's teen romance With Love (2026). Starring newcomers Abishan Jeevinth and Anaswara Rajan, the film has sustained remarkable momentum through its second week, capitalizing on a lack of major theatrical competition to deliver one of the highest returns on investment (ROI) in recent years. Produced by Zion Films and presented by Soundarya Rajinikanth, the project also marks the fourth successful venture for co-producers MRP Entertainment. Adding significant weight to the film's profile is lead actor Abishan Jeevinth, who transitioned to the front of the camera following a record-breaking stint as a director. Jeevinth is the creative force behind the 2025 sensation The Tourist Family, a project that earned a Blockbuster verdict with a massive worldwide gross of ₹87.23 crore. That film, which netted ₹61.62 crore in India and captured ₹15.55 crore in overseas markets,and ranked as the 10th highest-grossing Tamil film of 2025 globally. Data tracking for the film's second-week performance reveals a resilient theatrical run. Following a strong second Friday of ₹1.35 crore, the movie witnessed a massive 114% jump on Saturday, collecting ₹2.9 crore. The growth continued through Sunday with ₹2.25 crore, followed by a steady weekday hold. With ₹0.75 crore on its second Thursday, the film concluded its second-week nett collection at approximately ₹9.95 crore. This brings the total domestic gross to a formidable ₹27.40 crore. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The film's success extends beyond the Indian market, with overseas territories contributing a significant ₹3.25 crore to the global tally. Against a modest production budget of ₹4 crore, With Love has emerged as a major commercial triumph. The high ROI is attributed to the film's relatable coming-of-age narrative and a strong technical backbone, featuring a widely praised romantic score by Sean Roldan, cinematography by Shreyaas Krishna, and precise editing by Suresh Kumar. The absence of big-budget tentpoles during this window allowed With Love to dominate the youth demographic. The film's ability to maintain nearly 100% occupancy in select urban centers during its second weekend underscores the strong word-of-mouth that continues to drive its box office trajectory. As it enters its third week, the movie remains the primary choice for Tamil audiences, significantly outperforming its initial commercial expectations.
