Why is this opening considered good? (Prakambanam box office)

In today's era, when even major films can flop despite earning crores on their first day, a small film like "Prakambanam" (Malayalam film) opening with a collection of over 4 million rupees can be considered a positive sign. The best part is that audiences are responding very well to the film. Actor Sagar Surya's performance, in particular, is receiving rave reviews. His comic timing and expressions are resonating. The chemistry between the lead actors and the combination of comedy and fear are entertaining audiences.

Can earnings increase on weekends? (Prakambanam budget)

The film is being compared to previous hits in Malayalam horror-comedies like "Adi Kappyare Kootamani" and "Romancham." Both films initially had slow sales but later became major hits thanks to word of mouth. If "Prakambanam" continues to receive similar positive word-of-mouth publicity, its collections could see a significant increase on Saturday and Sunday.

Eyes are fixed on the big cities

Theater owners in major cities like Kochi, Thiruvananthapuram, and Kozhikode are closely monitoring the film's weekend performance. Currently, audiences are slowly increasing for evening shows. If this trend continues, the film's total collection could reach or even exceed ₹1 crore by the weekend, which would be an impressive result for a film of this budget.
