Mammootty's latest movie, Kalamkaval, made its big-screen debut on December 5. This investigative thriller was highly anticipated, but it hasn't been able to bring in the enormous sums of money at the box office on its debut weekend. Let's examine the movie's third-day revenue at the box office...
Sacnilk states that the film made over Rs 16 crore overall during its third theatrical run in India, earning roughly Rs 5.85 crore in India on Sunday (December 7). Despite having numerous screens and additional evening and night shows, it is clear that the movie has not been able to have much of an impact over the weekend. After more than 120 shows were added on December 5, it was anticipated to gain further momentum during the Saturday and Sunday.
It's unclear if the film will make more than Rs 50 crore in its first week or if it would be Malayalam's last hit in 2025 given other December releases like Dileep's Bha Bha Ba and Nivin Pauly-starrer Sarvam Maya.
Kalamkaval surpassed Bazooka, Dominic, and The Ladies' Purse's first-day receipts with Rs 5 crore. This result is relevant because the Malayalam megastar's first 2025 film, Dominic and The Ladies' Purse, made merely Rs 1.75 crore on its opening day, whereas his game thriller, Bazooka, made Rs 3.7 crore following its theatrical release in April. Meanwhile, Kalamkaval's digital rights have previously been sold to SonyLIV for apparently a substantial sum, but these films have not yet had an OTT debut on any platforms. According to estimates, the Kalamkaval also had a gross pre-sales exceeded Rs 1.25 crore.
Vinayakan, Gayatri Arun, Shruti Ramachandran, Rajisha Vijayan, and Gibin Gopinath play important parts in this Jithin K. Jose-directed movie. Kalamkaval is getting positive feedback mainly for the Malayalam megastar's performance as the antagonist, Stanley Das.
