Eko Box Office Collection Day 19: Sandeep Pradeep's Mystery Thriller Nears ₹23 Crore Domestically

Eko Box Office Collection: The Malayalam mystery thriller Eko, led by Sandeep Pradeep, continues its steady run at the box office as it steps into Day 20 of its theatrical release on December 10. Directed by Dinjith Ayyathan and backed by debut production house Aaradyaa Studios, the film has maintained a consistent presence in theaters since its release on November 21, 2025, supported by sustained audience interest across multiple weeks.

As per early estimates shared by trade tracking website Sacnilk, Eko has collected approximately ₹22.63 crore (India net) by the end of its 19th day. The film opened at a modest level on its first day with earnings of around ₹0.8 crore. However, strong growth over the opening weekend helped it gain momentum, with collections rising sharply on Saturday and peaking on its first Sunday at just over ₹3 crore.

The film closed its first week with a total of ₹11.65 crore. During the second week, Eko managed to stay relatively stable, supported by weekend footfalls, adding ₹8.85 crore despite a noticeable drop on weekdays. In its third week, the film has seen the typical decline expected at this stage of its theatrical lifecycle. Collections for Days 15 to 19 together contributed under ₹2.2 crore, taking the overall total to ₹22.63 crore by Tuesday.

With the film now entering Day 20, trade analysts will be watching how it performs during the remaining weekday shows and whether the upcoming weekend provides any further lift to its numbers.

Brief Day-Wise Summary (19 Days India Net):

Week 1: ₹11.65 crore

Week 2: ₹8.85 crore

Days 15-19: Approx. ₹2.13 crore

Total (19 days): ₹22.63 crore

Eko is set against the fog-laden backdrop of Kaattukunnu, where two central characters navigate personal and external conflicts amid stories linked to Kuriyachan, a figure whose life straddles the line between folklore and reality. The narrative weaves together elements of mystery, moral conflict, and human struggle, unfolding across a landscape where past and present intersect.

The film is written and cinematographed by Bahul Ramesh and is positioned as the concluding chapter of his "Animal Trilogy," following Kishkindha Kaandam and Kerala Crime Files: Season 2. While each of the three projects stands independently, they share thematic undercurrents exploring crime, ethics, and the symbolic presence of animals within their narratives.

Produced by MRK Jhayaram, Eko marks the first production venture of Aaradyaa Studios. Alongside Sandeep Pradeep, the cast includes Vineeth, Narain, Ashokan, Binu Pappu, and Biana Momin in prominent roles, with several supporting performances adding to the ensemble. The technical crew features Mujeeb Majeed as the music composer and Sooraj E S as the editor, with Sajeesh Thamarassery heading the art direction.

With nearly three weeks completed at the box office, Eko has entered the consolidation phase of its theatrical run. Its performance over the coming days will determine how close it can get to the ₹25 crore mark before winding down in major centers.
