Athiradi Kerala Box Office Collections: Basil Joseph & Tovino Thomas starrer closes first week under Rs 28 crore; Can it sail against Drishyam 3?
Basil Joseph and Tovino Thomas starrer action comedy drama, Athiradi, recorded a good hold on Thursday while facing Mohanlal's Drishyam 3.
Malayalam film Athiradi wrapped its first week on a good note. The Basil Joseph and Tovino Thomas starrer collected Rs. 27.65 crore in its 8 days of theatrical run, including paid previews. It fetched around Rs. 1.10 crore on Thursday (Day 8), while facing Mohanlal's Drishyam 3. That's a promising hold, as the movie dropped by 40 per cent from the previous day.
The action comedy should hold well against the new release; however, it is expected to see some hiccups this weekend due to a reduction in shows. Athiradi has a good potential of smashing Rs. 40 crore plus in its full run, with an eye on the Rs. 50 crore mark, too. But that depends on how it performs in the next couple of weeks.
Box Office Collections of Athiradi in Kerala are as follows:
| Day | Box Office |
| Previews | Rs. 0.60 crore |
| Day 1 | Rs. 5.40 crore |
| Day 2 | Rs. 4.25 crore |
| Day 3 | Rs. 4.75 crore |
| Day 4 | Rs. 5.25 crore |
| Day 5 | Rs. 2.40 crore |
| Day 6 | Rs. 2.10 crore |
| Day 7 | Rs. 1.80 crore |
| Day 8 | Rs. 1.10 crore (est.) |
| Total | Rs. 27.65 crore |
Athiradi follows the story of Samkutty (Basil Joseph), an enthusiastic and overzealous college student who falls in love with his classmate. Over time, he gains popularity among his peers and decides to revive a long-banned festival at his college.
However, the festival was banned years ago due to the involvement of Sreekuttan Vellayani, a local goon and aspiring singer. As news of the festival spreads, the two become involved in a fiery feud that can only end in a full-blown brawl. What happens between them, along with the lore behind the festival’s ban, is explored in the movie.
