After starting the journey on a decent note, the film didn’t really grow over the weekend and settled for a total lower than expected at the Indian box office. Still, it registered the 4th biggest opening weekend for Mohanlal in the post-COVID era. Keep reading for a detailed day 4 report!
Released on August 28, the Mollywood comedy drama clashed with Kalyani Priyadarshan’s Lokah: Chapter 1 – Chandra. It received mostly favorable reviews and word-of-mouth, but the film was sidelined due to Lokah: Chapter 1 – Chandra’s strong buzz and critical acclaim. It had the potential to grow well over the weekend, but it didn’t happen.
