• Hridayapoorvam clashed with Lokah: Chapter 1 - Chandra, emerging to be the winner on day 1

Hridayapoorvam Day 1 Box Office Collection: Malayalam star Mohanlal ensured that his third film in 2025 too had a solid start at the ticket window, as Hridayapoorvam opened with impressive numbers for a feel-good film.

Mohanlal’s Hridayapoorvam Day 1 Box Office

The Malayalam film Hridayapoorvam, starring Mohanlal in the lead role, hit theatres on August 28, 2025, and collected Rs 3.35 crore on day 1, as per industry tracker Sacnilk.

Though these are not as impressive numbers as Mohanlal’s previous hit films of 2025 - Thudarum, it is a good figure, considering Hridayapoorvam is a feel-good film without any thrilling or mass moments. Thudarum, helmed by Tharun Moorthy, made Rs 5.25 crore when it released in theatres on April 25, 2025. Thudarum went on to become a runaway hit, with fans declaring that vintage Lalettan is back.

But given the positive feedback for Hridayapoorvam as the best Onam movie for family audiences, the film is likely to see more footfalls as we enter the festive holidays.
