Master recorded a phenomenal opening day number in Tamil Nadu with collections in the range of 20-21 crore nett which is the second highest opening ever in Tamil Nadu behind Sarkar which was a released on a national holiday. The film has fell just a few crore short of record levels despite releasing in this pandemic situation.

This opening has come in a different time with the pandemic and capacity restrictions. The actual collections of the film may well be higher as many cinemas would have have not played the film with capacity restrictions and allowed full capacity. .

The film is the third 20 crore nett plus day in Tamil Nadu and all belong to the same actor Vijay but the achievement with Master is the biggest due to the situation today. The all India collections of the film are simply mind boggling as with Tamil Nadu, Nizam Andhra and Hindi circuits the figures add up to around 30 crore nett and there is Karnataka and Kerala to come.

The film collected around 8.5-9 crore nett in Nizam Andhra and a further 60-70 lakh nett in Hindi markets. The all India number of the film could cross 35 crore nett. Below are the top NETT collections in Tamil Nadu.
