The Malayalam film, Balti, starring Shane Nigam, made its big screen debut on September 26. Due to its hackneyed plot and characters, the film, which was simultaneously released in Tamil, received mixed reviews from viewers. This is how much money the movie brought in during the first week of its theatrical run.

Balti Box Office Collection Week 1

As reported by the industry tracker Sacnilk, the sports action drama earned roughly Rs 7 cr at the movie office in a single week. On the other hand, this is noteworthy because the movie made more money in a week than Vineeth Sreenivasan's film Karam. With more films scheduled for release in October, some of which are highly anticipated, it remains to be seen if Balti will have a significant impact on the box office. This is Shane Nigam's Malayalam release after his 2024 film, Little Hearts, which also received mediocre feedback from the audience. This romantic comedy drama is available to watch on Sun NXT and OTTplay Premium.

Balti gets mixed response in theatres

Three strong goons rule the small hamlet of Velampalayam, which serves as the backdrop for this movie. Four young kabaddi players find themselves caught up in these power plays and fraudulent activities, endangering their friendships, trust, and loved ones. Soon, the emphasis switches to retaliation, in which only one person survives.

According to OTTplay's review, the film's makers had nothing unique to offer in terms of plot aside from the usual clichés prevalent in commercial action dramas. The audience sometimes loses interest in the film because it becomes so predictable on the whole. Overall, the movie would be worth seeing if you love Shane Nigam or enjoy a commercial action thriller once in a while. This film marks Unni Shivalingam's directorial debut. The director wrote the script for this action drama himself. Significant roles in Balti are also being played by Selvaraghavan, Alphonse Puthren, Poornima Indrajith, Preethi Asrani, and Shanthnu Bhagyaraj.
