The Malayalam film 'Bha. Bha. Ba.', headlined by actor Dileep, is demonstrating a stable performance in its first week at the box office. Despite a significant dip after its opening weekend, the film has managed to hold its ground on weekdays, even registering a slight uptick on its sixth day.
Steady Collections Amid Weekday Challenge
According to early estimates reported by the Sacnilk website, 'Bha. Bha. Ba.' garnered approximately Rs 1.15 crore in net collections across India on its sixth day. This figure marks a minor improvement from the previous day, Tuesday, when the film collected Rs 1.1 crore. This consistency has pushed the film's cumulative domestic net earnings to an estimated Rs 18.65 crore.
The film enjoyed a robust opening weekend, pulling in a strong Rs 3.2 crore each on Saturday and Sunday. However, as is common, it experienced a sharp decline on Monday with the onset of weekdays. The collections on Tuesday showed a slight recovery, setting the stage for the modest growth witnessed on Day 6.
Audience Occupancy and Showtime Analysis
A closer look at the audience turnout on Tuesday, December 23, 2025, reveals interesting patterns. The overall Malayalam occupancy for 'Bha. Bha. Ba.' was recorded at 15.23 percent.
The morning shows began on a slower note with an occupancy of just 8.76 percent. Attendance picked up in the afternoon and evening slots, with figures hovering close to each other at 13.94 percent and 13.98 percent, respectively. The night shows emerged as the most popular, registering the highest occupancy of 24.25 percent.
Star-Studded Cast and Critical Reception
'Bha. Bha. Ba.' is directed by Dhananjay Shankar and features a prominent ensemble cast. While Dileep plays the lead, the film also stars Mohanlal, Vineeth Sreenivasan, Dhyan Sreenivasan, Balu Varghese, Saranya Ponvannan, and Redin Kingsley in pivotal roles.
The critical response has been mixed. A review from ETimes highlighted that among the various elements, "the only passably entertaining elements come from the exchange between Noble and an investigative journalist, played by Dhyan Sreenivasan."
The film's ability to maintain steady collections after the initial drop indicates a level of sustained audience interest. Its performance in the coming weekend will be crucial in determining its long-term success at the box office.
