Overview
- The film opened on May 21, Mohanlal’s birthday, and industry tracker Sacnilk reports India net collections of ₹15.85 crore on day one, ₹11.05 crore on day two, and ₹13.70 crore on day three.
- Sacnilk’s weekend tally puts the worldwide gross at about ₹117.17 crore by the end of the opening weekend, with overseas markets contributing a disproportionately large share of early receipts.
- Exhibition metrics show a drop in shows and occupancy on day two followed by a weekend recovery, with Sacnilk reporting roughly 4,886 shows and about 44.5% overall occupancy on the Friday after release.
- Critical and audience response has been mixed, with widespread praise for Mohanlal’s performance but criticism focused on the film’s plot and screenplay, which has clouded domestic word-of-mouth.
- Producers Aashirvad Cinemas have published a higher opening figure of ₹50.35 crore that conflicts with Sacnilk’s numbers, a discrepancy that remains unresolved and could affect early reporting on the film’s commercial performance.
