The Story in Brief
Thudakkam, the Malayalam film marking the acting debut of Mohanlal’s daughter Vismaya, earned Rs 2.40 crore net in India on its opening day, according to Sacnilk estimates. The Jude Anthany Joseph-directed movie was screened across 1,102 shows on Friday and posted an overall occupancy of 42%, rising to 59% in the night shows. Kerala contributed Rs 2.50 crore of the Rs 2.78 crore gross collection. The film, based on a story by Lineesh Nellickal, follows a woman fighting back after a crime and examines social scrutiny of victims. ETimes gave it three stars.
The Indian Opinion
The big talking point is Vismaya Mohanlal’s surname, not her performance. Let the numbers settle. A 42% occupancy with a jump to 59% at night suggests word-of-mouth, not just star-kid curiosity. The real test is whether Thudakkam holds its screens and occupancy on Monday, when the novelty factor fades. If the weekend collections double the opening day, it will prove the film works on its own merit, not just on lineage.
