Marakkar
Arabikadalinte
Simham,
the
Mohanlal-starring
epic
drama
had
a
massive
release
across
the
globe
on
December
2,
Thursday.
The
project,
which
is
helmed
by
the
senior
filmmaker
Priyadarshan,
has
been
receiving
mixed
reviews
from
both
the
audiences
and
critics.
However,
the
mixed
reviews
have
not
majorly
affected
Marakkar's
performance
at
the
box
office.
As
per
the
latest
updates,
Marakkar
has
received
the
all-time
biggest
opening
for
a
Malayalam
film
at
the
worldwide
box
office.
The
Mohanlal-starrer
has
set
an
all-time
record
at
the
UAE
circuit
with
its
premiere
numbers.
Marakkar
Arabikadalinte
Simham
has
reportedly
had
35,879
admits
on
its
release
day
in
the
region
and
has
made
an
opening
collection
of
Rs.
2.98
Crore
at
the
UAE
box
office.
Thus,
Marakkar
has
broken
the
record
set
by
Dulquer
Salmaan's
latest
blockbuster
Kurup.
According
to
the
reports,
Kurup
has
had
a
total
of
29541
admits
in
the
UAE
circuit.
The
Dulquer
Salmaan-starrer
had
made
an
day
1
of
Rs.
2.4
Crore
at
the
UAE
box
office,
thus
emerging
as
the
previous
all-time
highest
opener.
Coming
to
the
all-India
box
office,
the
trade
experts
suggest
that
Marakkar
Arabikadalinte
Simham
has
performed
exceeding
well
in
Kerala.
The
Mohanlal-starrer
has
also
emerged
as
the
all-time
biggest
opener
in
the
state,
thanks
to
its
massive
release
in
over
625
theatres
with
about
3000
plus
shows.
However,
Marakkar
has
received
a
lukewarm
response
outside
Kerala,
which
might
affect
the
film's
box
office
performance
at
the
rest
of
India
box
office.
According
to
the
reports,
Marakkar
Arabikadalinte
Simham
has
reportedly
crossed
the
prestigious
100-Crore
mark
already,
with
its
advance
bookings.
However,
leading
man
Mohanlal
and
producer
Antony
Perumbavoor
have
not
confirmed
these
reports
officially
yet.
A
detailed
box
office
collection
report
with
an
area-wise
breakdown
is
expected
to
be
out
very
soon.
