The Story in Brief
Mohanlal shared an emotional note on social media after his daughter Vismaya Mohanlal's debut film Thudakkam hit theatres on August 7. He said watching her begin her journey and the love shown to her was a blessing he will always cherish. He also congratulated co-star Aashish Joe Antony, whom he has known since he was a boy.
Directed by Jude Anthany Joseph, Thudakkam collected Rs 2.55 crore net in India and Rs 6.86 crore gross worldwide on its opening day. The film beat Kalyani Priyadarshan's Lokah (Rs 6.63 crore gross) for the highest opening-day by a female-led Malayalam film. However, Thudakkam's opening weekend collection of Rs 23.46 crore worldwide fell short of Lokah's Rs 40.87 crore.
The Indian Opinion
The box office numbers show a clear split: Thudakkam won the opening-day crown on hype and Mohanlal's star power, but Lokah's stronger critical reception carried it to a bigger weekend haul. The lazy narrative that a star kid's debut automatically succeeds ignores the film's lukewarm reviews. The real test will come in the second weekend, where word of mouth, not family name, decides whether Thudakkam sustains or fades.
