**Film’s Theme**
*Madharaasi* tells the compelling story of Raghu, an engineer who suffers from Fregoli delusion — a rare psychological disorder. Raghu is recruited by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) to stop gun smuggling activities into Tamil Nadu.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, “Fregoli syndrome is the belief that a stranger or acquaintance is someone you know in disguise. It causes paranoia, anxiety, and agitation.”
Despite receiving mixed reviews from critics, the film has reportedly grossed over ₹97.69 crore worldwide. This makes *Madharaasi* Sivakarthikeyan’s fourth-highest earning film, following *Amaran*, *Don*, and *Doctor*.
