Overview
- The Mammootty–Mohanlal espionage thriller has grossed about Rs 72 crore worldwide after six days, with roughly Rs 41.5 crore coming from overseas, according to trade trackers.
- Following Monday’s steep fall from Sunday in India, weekday takings slid to about Rs 1.7 crore on day four and Rs 1.5 crore on day five, pushing the India total to roughly Rs 25–26 crore net.
- Trade reporting now signals the film is unlikely to reach Rs 100 crore globally or break into Malayalam cinema’s top 10 grossers on current trends.
- Director Mahesh Narayanan countered fan criticism over Mohanlal’s screen time, saying both stars accepted the roles as written and noting Kamal Haasan praised the film.
- The story focuses on a surveillance conspiracy built around a spyware system called Periscope, a premise that drew interest even as word of mouth cooled in India.
