Idhayam Murali Crosses Rs 15 Crore Worldwide as Early Box Office Momentum Holds
Strong word-of-mouth plus a remembered Fahadh Faasil cameo have kept receipts steady, making recoupment of the reported Rs 25 crore budget possible.
Overview
- Industry estimates put the film’s worldwide gross at about Rs 15.8 crore after its first four days and at more than Rs 17 crore after five days, with net India collections reported near Rs 10.7 crore after four days.
- Box-office outlets report day-wise Indian net receipts of roughly Rs 1.9 crore, Rs 3.5 crore, Rs 3.8 crore and Rs 1.5 crore for the film’s opening four days, reflecting a typical Monday dip after a strong weekend.
- Coverage emphasizes that the figures are industry estimates reported by box-office trackers and outlets rather than official studio statements, so totals and the Rs 25 crore budget remain unverified by the makers.
- Observers say positive audience word-of-mouth and a notable cameo by Fahadh Faasil have helped sustain weekday attendance and could allow the film to recover its reported production cost in the near term if holds continue.
- The film’s performance is being watched against competition from Gatta Kusthi 2, with the coming days and the second weekend expected to decide whether Idhayam Murali turns its early promise into full break-even and profit.
