The latest spy action thriller has marked the reunion of two Malayalam icons after a long gap of 17 years. Surprisingly, the makers didn’t promote the film well, keeping it low-key. All thanks to the stardom of both superstars, it has managed to make noise in pre-sales despite underwhelming promotions. In fact, it went on to register historic numbers.

It is followed by 94 lakh gross from Karnataka and 48 lakh from Tamil Nadu. From Telugu states (Andhra Pradesh and Telangana), it grossed 10 lakh. The rest of India contributed 31 lakh. Overall, the magnum opus grossed a whopping 7.59 crore at the Indian box office through day 1 advance booking.

Enjoys roaring pre-sales globally
In the overseas market, too, the magnum opus is making all the noise in the advance booking stage. Backed by the stardom of Mohanlal and Mammootty, the film has grossed a solid $1.44 million in the overseas market through opening-day pre-sales. In Indian rupees, it equals 13.66 crore gross. The majority of overseas pre-sales have been backed by the GCC, where both superstars enjoy massive fan followings.
