Prince And Family Kerala Box Office Collection Day 1: Dileep's Film Sees Decent Opening In Theatres

Prince And Family Box Office Collection: Prince and Family, the latest Malayalam release featuring actor Dileep in his 150th film, recorded an opening day collection of over ₹0.80 crore in Kerala, according to box office tracking platform What The Fuss. The family comedy-drama, which hit theaters on May 9, 2025, also logged approximately 50,000 admissions across the state on its first day.

The cumulative total from evening and night shows alone stood at more than ₹0.55 crore, indicating a decent turnout later in the day. While the opening figures are modest, they reflect steady footfall for a non-festival release led by a veteran actor.

Storyline and Behind-the-Scenes of Prince and Family

Directed by debutant Binto Stephen and scripted by Sharis Mohammed, Prince and Family revolves around Prince Chakkalakkal, portrayed by Dileep. As the eldest son of the Chakkalakkal family, Prince is the only sibling who remains unmarried, and the film follows the humorous and emotional events that unfold around his search for companionship.

The ensemble cast includes Siddique, Bindu Panicker, Johny Antony, Dhyan Sreenivasan, and Meenakshi, with cameo appearances by Urvashi and Vineeth Thattil David. The film was produced by Listin Stephen under the Magic Frames banner, with Justin Stephen serving as co-producer.

The project was shot over a span of 85 days across locations including Ooty, Kozhikode, and Ernakulam. Technical contributions come from cinematographer Renadive, editor Sagar Dass, and music director Sanal Dev. The production team included experienced professionals such as Sameera Saneesh and Venki (Dilieep) for costumes, Rahim Kodungallur for makeup, Prasanna and Jishnu for choreography, and Sync Cinema for sound design, contributing to the film's technical execution.

The title of the film was first revealed through a poster in October 2024. Since then, the project had generated moderate buzz, especially given it marked Dileep's milestone 150th appearance on the big screen.

As the weekend progresses, Prince and Family is expected to gain more traction through word-of-mouth, particularly among audiences looking for a light-hearted family entertainer. The coming days will be crucial in determining the film's overall box office trajectory.
