The new Malayalam film Valathu Vasathe Kallan, starring Biju Menon and Joju George, is gradually gaining traction at the box office, particularly in its home state of Kerala. Early reports indicate that the movie is maintaining a decent hold, with audience word-of-mouth beginning to positively influence its performance.
Box Office Performance Shows Encouraging Trends
According to data from the Sacnilk website, Valathu Vasathe Kallan has collected approximately Rs 2.75 crores worldwide during its first two days of release. The India Net collection stands at Rs 2.3 crores, with the India Gross also reported at Rs 2.75 crores. Specifically, the Malayalam Net Box Office mirrors the India Net figure of Rs 2.3 crores.
Day-to-Day Growth Highlights Audience Interest
On its opening day, the film garnered Rs 1.1 crores in Kerala, followed by a slight increase to Rs 1.2 crores on day two. This modest jump of Rs 0.1 crore suggests that the movie is slowly picking up momentum, likely driven by positive word-of-mouth from early viewers. The incremental growth indicates that more audiences are being drawn to theatres as reviews and feedback circulate.
Star-Studded Cast and Creative Team
The film features a strong ensemble cast, including:
- Biju Menon
- Joju George
- Lenaa
- Irshad Ali
- Vyshnavi Raj
Directed by the acclaimed Jeethu Joseph, Valathu Vasathe Kallan benefits from a synergy between the writer Dinu and the director, which has been noted in early critiques.
Critical Reception and Audience Feedback
A detailed review from ETimes praised the film's first half, describing it as excellent with a compelling story, emotional depth, and unexpected twists that keep viewers engaged. The review highlighted cleverly placed dialogues that gain significance by the film's conclusion. However, it noted that while the second half maintains a novel narrative and a brisk pace, it lacks the edge-of-seat thrill typical of the genre, though this may not be a universal complaint.
Social media reactions align with this assessment, with many viewers expressing greater enjoyment of the first half compared to the second. The twist moments and emotional scenes have garnered particular attention, contributing to an overall positive feedback loop. Despite some critiques about the thriller elements, the general sentiment remains favorable, which could further boost box office numbers in the coming days.
