Marakkar
Arabikadalinte
Simham,
the
Mohanlal-starrer
helmed
by
the
senior
filmmaker
Priyadarshan,
has
been
receiving
mixed
reviews
from
both
the
audiences
and
critics.
However,
the
reviews
and
social
media
reactions
have
not
affected
the
performance
of
Marakkar
at
the
box
office.
As
per
the
reports,
the
Mohanlal
starrer
is
staying
steady
at
the
box
office,
even
during
the
weekdays.
The
latest
reports
from
the
trade
experts
suggest
that
Marakkar
Arabikadalinte
Simham
might
cross
the
prestigious
40-Crore
mark
at
the
worldwide
box
office,
within
the
first
5
days
of
its
release.
As
reported
earlier,
the
Mohanlal-starrer
has
made
a
total
gross
collection
of
Rs.
37.89
Crore
at
the
worldwide
box
office,
on
its
opening
weekend
(first
4
days).
Marakkar
has
made
a
total
gross
collection
of
Rs.
14.84
Crore
from
the
Kerala
box
office
alone,
within
the
first
weekend
of
its
release.
The
Priyadarshan
directorial
has
not
succeeded
in
achieving
a
great
footing
at
the
rest
of
India
box
office
and
earned
Rs.
2.75
Crore
within
the
first
4
days.
Considering
the
massive
pre-release
hype
of
Marakkar
Arabikadalinte
Simham,
and
the
star
power
of
Mohanlal,
the
rest
of
India's
box
office
figure
is
not
very
impressive.
However,
the
Priyadarshan
directorial
is
performing
extremely
well
at
the
UAE-GCC
box
office,
when
it
comes
to
overseas.
Even
though
Marakkar
Arabikadalinte
Simham
has
been
experiencing
major
loss
at
the
other
important
overseas
centers
including
North
America,
the
UAE-GCC
collections
have
compensated
for
it.
The
Mohanlal-starrer
has
made
a
total
gross
collection
of
Rs.
20.3
Crore
at
the
overseas
box
office,
on
its
opening
weekend.
Considering
the
mixed
reviews
and
social
media
trolling,
the
upcoming
days
are
expected
to
be
not-so-impressive
for
Marakkar
Arabikadalinte
Simham.
However,
the
trade
experts
suggest
that
the
magnum
opus
might
experience
a
major
rise
in
the
box
office
collection
by
the
next
two
weekends,
considering
the
festival
season
rush.
