Lighting up the box office, Athiradi continues to dazzle with its impressive performance! This Malayalam cinematic gem, boasting the talents of Tovino Thomas and Basil Joseph, enjoyed another triumphant day after achieving Kerala’s second-best opening of 2026. On its sophomore day, this action-packed comedy drama captivated audiences, raking in a hefty Rs. 4.25 crore.
This remarkable feat brings Athiradi‘s two-day total to a robust Rs. 10.25 crore at the Kerala box office. Helmed by the visionary director Arun Anirudhan, the film is poised to soar even higher, promising an opening weekend that could touch a staggering Rs. 20 crore, if current trends hold steady.
The secret to this blockbuster’s success? It’s the vibrant word-of-mouth buzz that has audiences flocking to theaters. Should the film maintain this momentum through the weekdays, it could well ascend the ranks to become a box office marvel.
