Turbo Box Office Day 1: Beats Mohanlal’s Malaikottai Vaaliban
The recent updates from trade experts suggest that Turbo has made a massive worldwide box office opening by collecting around Rs. 16 crore on its release day. Thus, the movie has emerged as the second biggest box office opener from Malayalam cinema in 2024, after Prithviraj Sukumaran’s Aadujeevitham. Regarding the Kerala box office, the Vysakh directorial has reportedly collected around Rs. 6.25 crore on its first day at the theatres.

Thus, the Mammootty starrer surpassed the opening day collection of Malaikottai Vaaliban, the period fantasy drama that features Mohanlal in the titular role. For the uninitiated, the Lijo Jose Pellissery directorial, which was released in January 2024, collected around Rs. 5.8 crore at the Kerala box office alone on its release day. However, Turbo emerged as Mammootty’s second-biggest box office opener in Kerala, as the movie failed to beat the Day 1 collection of the 2022-released blockbuster, Bheeshma Parvam.
Turbo sets a record with 224 extra shows
Interestingly, Turbo has been witnessing an extraordinary rush right from the first show of its release, despite receiving mixed reviews from critics. Mammootty and Vysakh’s ambitious project reportedly had over 224 extra shows in Kerala alone on its release day. For the uninitiated, the action-comedy film has now set a record when it comes to the extra-show count. While considering the increasing audience rush and word-of-mouth publicity, it is safe to assume that Turbo will cross the Rs. 10 crore mark worldwide with its Day 2 collections and will have an extraordinary weekend at the box office.
