Narivetta Box Office: Tovino Thomas' Film Closes Week One With Nearly ₹10 Crore Domestic Collection

Narivetta Box Office Collection: Malayalam action-drama 'Narivetta,' which explores the complex intersections of power, policing, and marginalization, has completed its first week in theaters. Directed by Anuraj Manohar and headlined by Tovino Thomas, the film has managed to collect an estimated ₹9.79 crore net at the Indian box office over its first seven days, according to data from box office tracker Sacnilk.

Released on May 23, 2025, Narivetta opened with a decent ₹1.65 crore on its first Friday. The collections picked up over the weekend, with Saturday and Sunday bringing in ₹1.85 crore and ₹2.25 crore, respectively. However, the film saw a dip on Monday, earning ₹1.2 crore. This downward trend continued into the week, with Tuesday's collections at ₹1.15 crore, followed by ₹0.95 crore on Wednesday and ₹0.74 crore (early estimates) on Thursday.

The film's one-week total stands at ₹9.79 crore net. How it fares in the second week will depend largely on word-of-mouth and continued audience interest, especially given its serious subject matter and limited appeal beyond Kerala.
