Mammootty’s Kalamkaval Hits Box Office Gold, Recovers 29 Crore Budget in 9 Days

Malayalam superstar Mammootty has a major box office hit. His new action thriller, “Kalamkaval,” has turned profitable in just over a week. The film has successfully recovered its entire production budget.

This success comes after two consecutive commercial disappointments for the veteran actor this year. According to industry trackers, the film’s strong performance marks a significant comeback.

Kalamkaval’s Financial Triumph Over Previous Flops

“Kalamkaval” was reportedly made on a budget of 29 crore rupees. New data shows the film’s total India net collection has now crossed 30.2 crore. This means it has entered a clear profit zone for its producers.

Notably, this single film’s earnings have surpassed the combined total of Mammootty’s last two releases. “Dominic & The Ladies’ Purse” earned 9.3 crore, while “Bazooka” collected 13.86 crore.

Sustained Momentum and Future Prospects

The film showed strong growth on its second Saturday. It earned 2.25 crore on day nine, a notable jump from 1.65 crore on day eight. This indicates sustained audience interest beyond the opening week.

Industry analysts are now watching to see if it can maintain this pace. To be declared a full “hit,” the film needs to reach approximately 58 crore in total collections. Its current trajectory makes that a possible target.

Mammootty’s “Kalamkaval” success breaks a challenging streak, proving his enduring star power. The film’s profitable run is a welcome development for the Malayalam film industry.
