On Saturday Hridayam became the tenth Mollywood movie to go over Rs. 50 crores gross globally. As of yesterday, the Pranav Mohanlal starrer has grossed Rs. 52.30 crores approx globally, placing it as the ninth highest grossing film ever from Mollywood, just above Odiyan. The way the film was running it could have reached number seven but the release of Neyyattinkara Gopante Aarattu and the film’s digital release next week will halt its run and probably close over/under Njan Prakashan. For what it's worth, if it had a clearer release without any CoVID restrictions like closed cinemas on Sundays in Kerala, it could have done that quite early in the run.
The top ten highest grossing Mollywood films globally are as follows:
Hridayam has grossed Rs. 29.80 crores approx in India, off which Rs. 25 crores have come from Kerala. The film has performed well in Tamil Nadu for a Malayalam film, with Rs. 1.90 crores to date, which is not much lower than bigger films like Lucifer. Karnataka also did well with Rs. 1.95 crores and another Rs. 95 lakhs coming from the rest of India.
Overseas numbers are also strong with $3 million (Rs. 22.50 crores) approx, with $2.10 million from Gulf, $325K in North America, $325k in Europe and $250k in Oceania/Pacific.
