What are Chatha Pacha Box Office Collection Day 1 details?

The action movie made nearly Rs 3.70 crore on opening day with 1,313 shows throughout the state, according to a report from online industry monitors. In the meanwhile, given the excitement and anticipation Chatha Pacha generated prior to its theatrical premiere, this is not a significant sum. Pre-sales for the film totalled more than Rs 1 crore, with bookings beginning on January 20.

The movie is anticipated to gain greater traction in theatres as more shows are added on the second day. It remains to be seen if the film would be this year's first Malayalam box office success. It's also unclear how Chatha Pacha's weekend performance will be affected by the January 23 release of Nivin Pauly's thriller, Baby Girl.

Why you should watch Chatha Pacha in theatres?

The main character of the movie is Little, who goes back to Kochi and meets up with his long-lost buddies Savio and Vetri in an effort to fulfil a childhood dream of organising a WWE-style competition in Fort Kochi. However, the brothers could have to battle one another to protect what they cherish most when an old enemy feeds their resentment. WWE fans will love this movie, especially if they remember recreating any of the popular sport's moves. Without a doubt, the film stands out for its well-choreographed, intense action sequences. Roshan Mathew, Ishan Shoukath, Vishak Nair, and Arjun Ashokan all had significant roles in Chatha Pacha.
