How much did Mollywood Times earn at the Indian box office on day 1?
With Drishyam 3 slowing down more than expected and Kattalan witnessing a disappointing run, there was no such threat to this latest release. As a result, the dark comedy film opened to 1.8 crore net at the Indian box office on day 1, according to Sacnilk. It equals 2.12 crore gross. Since the makers didn’t release the trailer, box office enthusiasts were eager to see how it opens, and as far as the start is concerned, the film has made a decent noise.
Mollywood’s 9th biggest opener of 2026 in India
With 1.8 crore, Mollywood Times has registered the ninth-biggest opening day for a Malayalam film in 2026 at the Indian box office, ahead of Valathu Vasathe Kallan (1.1 crore) and behind Pallichattambi (2.9 crore). The top of the 2026 Mollywood chart continues to be dominated by Drishyam 3 (15.85 crore), with Patriot (10 crore) and Athiradi (6.07 crore) filling out the top three.

A strong first week is crucial for a film like this to establish a sustainable run.
