According to the latest figures, the movie has achieved a worldwide collection of Rs 48 lakhs over its first two days of screening.

Detailed Box Office Breakdown Reveals Consistent Performance
Early data compiled from industry sources, including the Sacnilk website, provides a comprehensive view of the film's financial performance. The movie has generated Rs 41 lakhs in India net collections, with the gross India figure reaching Rs 48 lakhs. A day-wise analysis reveals particularly encouraging patterns in both language versions of the film.
In the Malayalam version, the film has accumulated Rs 36 lakhs in net collections. The distribution between the first two days shows remarkable consistency, with Rs 18 lakhs collected on day one and an identical Rs 18 lakhs on day two. This maintenance of collection levels rather than experiencing a drop is especially noteworthy for a thriller film, suggesting sustained audience engagement.
The Tamil version, while operating on a smaller scale, has demonstrated measurable growth. The film collected Rs 2 lakhs on its opening day and increased to Rs 3 lakhs on day two, resulting in a total of Rs 5 lakhs for the Tamil version. This represents a 50% increase from day one to day two, indicating growing awareness and interest among Tamil-speaking audiences.
Complex Narrative Drives This Psychological Thriller
The film follows the compelling story of Zara Philip, portrayed as an exceptionally sharp forensic expert whose orderly existence unravels when her psychologically vulnerable brother mysteriously disappears. As Zara meticulously follows the trail of clues to locate her missing sibling, she begins to recognize disturbing parallels between this case and previous investigations, creating an atmosphere of mounting tension and psychological complexity.
Simultaneously, the narrative introduces Jibran, a disgraced police officer pursuing the same investigation in hopes of achieving personal redemption through solving this challenging case. When these two investigative paths inevitably converge, the film poses profound questions about manipulation, control, and the nature of truth, keeping viewers engaged through numerous twists and turns until the final revelation.
Critical Reception Highlights Ambitious Undertaking
Early critical assessments have recognized the film's ambitious scope and thematic depth. According to an ETimes review, "Anomie wants to be a thinking person's psycho-thriller, one that peers into conscience, morality, and the psychology of crime." The review further praises the film's stylistic approach and conceptual foundation, noting particularly that "the film's first half is the most confident part" and describing it as "a restrained procedural, allowing forensic logic and investigation to do the heavy lifting."
Industry observers suggest that 'Anomie: The Equation of Death' possesses significant potential to develop into a commercial success if positive word-of-mouth continues to expand in the coming days. The combination of consistent box office performance, critical recognition of its ambitious narrative approach, and growing audience interest across language versions creates an encouraging outlook for this psychological thriller's theatrical run.
