‘Prakambanam’ BO day 1: Horror film makes Rs 43 lakhs

'Prakambanam' box office collections day 1: Ganapathi's horror film gets decent opening; Makes Rs 43 lakhs worldwide

Malayalam film ‘Prakambanam’ has launched its box office run with a promising Rs 43 lakhs worldwide on day one. Despite lacking big stars, the horror-comedy is gaining traction for its lighthearted approach, blending scares with genuine laughs. Audiences are particularly praising Sagar Surya’s performance, with many calling the film a stress-buster and a worthwhile theatrical watch.

The small star cast Malayalam film ‘Prakambanam’ has started its journey at the box office with a decent opening. The movie made Rs 43 lakhs worldwide on day 1 according to the reports by the Sacnilk website. The India net collection stood at Rs 38 lakhs, and the India gross amount matched the worldwide number of Rs 43 lakhs. For a film without big stars and made on a simple scale, this is a good start.

Numbers show a good start

The Malayalam day 1 net box office is also Rs 38 lakhs and there is no early verdict yet. Still, the opening looks steady. Many small films struggle to get attention on the first day, but ‘Prakambanam’ is getting noticed because of the fun mood and the talk around it.

Film tries to mix fun and fear

‘Prakambanam’ is made in a light and easy style. It has ghosts, scares, jokes, and silly moments. The film tries to not take itself too seriously. It is more about the moments, the comedy timing, and the characters reacting to strange things around them. Social media users are giving mostly good comments.
