Melcow Pondicherry Box Office Day 1: Arjun Ashokan Registers One Of Mollywood’s Lowest Openings Of 2026

Arjun Ashokan has had two releases back-to-back in November. He started the month with the Malayalam film Disco, and a week later, Melcow Pondicherry arrived in theatres. While Disco got completely lost in the crowded Diwali weekend release, Melcow Pondicherry, too, has almost been neglected on its opening day.

Meanwhile, Arjun Ashokan’s latest film arrived in theaters on November 13. However, the film failed to make a mark at the box office on its opening day.

How Much Did Melcow Pondicherry Earn At The Box Office On Opening Day?

The film had a disappointing start at the box office, with almost no buzz. Additionally, the film received largely negative reviews from critics. On its opening day, the film earned 25 lakh net in India. This is far lower than Arjun Ashokan‘s previous release, Disco, which earned 60 lakh despite clashing with biggies at the box office.

Among Mollywood’s Lowest Openings In 2026

Arjun Ashokan’s latest film has managed to find a spot among the lowest openings for a Mollywood film in 2026. Melcow Pondicherry marks Arjun’s fourth theatrical release of the year. He started the year with Chatha Pacha: The Ring Of Rowdies and followed it with Varavu, Disco, and now Melcow Pondicherry.

Take a look at Arjun Ashokan’s Opening Day Collections of 2026 (India net):

1. Chatha Pacha: The Ring Of Rowdies – 3.4 crore
2. Varavu – 1.3 crore approx.
3. Disco– 60 lakh
4. Melcow Pondicherry – 25 lakh

In short, Arjun Ashokan’s latest film of the year earned 92.65% less than his first film of 2026, Chatha Pacha.
