Suriya's Tamil Film 'Scene' Released with Positive Reviews and Strong Box Office StartPreviousNext

Scene, a Tamil action-comedy directed by Jithu Madhavan, stars Suriya, Nazriya Nazim, and Naslen, marking Nazriya's return to Tamil cinema after 12 years. Released on November 6, 2026, the film follows DSP Inbaraj (Suriya) as he investigates a serial killer case alongside Nazriya's character, Maya, and faces antagonist Eeshwaran (Naslen). Early reviews praise the performances, humour, direction, and surprise cameo appearances, though some viewers note uneven screenplay and character development. The film opened strongly at the box office amid Diwali festivities, with advance bookings exceeding Rs 20 crore.
