Malaikottai Vaaliban Box Office Collection: Hit or Flop, Budget & More Details

Mohanlal's initial film of the year faced substantial competition at the box office. Despite an impressive opening of Rs 5.5 crore net on the first day in India, the collections saw a decline to 2.4 crore on Day 2 and further dropped to Rs 1.6 crore on the third day, resulting in a cumulative total of around Rs 9.70 crore in India. Globally, the film amassed approximately Rs 16.8 crore within the first three days. Unlike his previous year's release 'Neru,' 'Malaikottai Vaaliban' struggled to draw a larger audience, potentially attributed to its release solely in Malayalam with English subtitles instead of the initially planned multiple languages. This decision significantly impacted the overall box office performance of the movie.

'Malaikottai Vaaliban' made its theatrical debut on January 25, 2024, with a budget of around Rs 65 crore, covering all expenses. Helmed by director Lijo Jose Pellissery and featuring Mohanlal in the lead role, the film narrates the saga of an invincible warrior whose journey surpasses the confines of time and boundaries. Confronting each adversary along the way, the narrative challenges the limits of both temporal and geographical constraints. The ensemble cast comprises Sonalee Kulkarni as Rangapattinam Rangarani, Hareesh Peradi as Ayyanar, and Danish Sait as Chamathakan.

Reports indicate that 'Malaikottai Vaaliban' emerged as the biggest flop in the first half of 2024.  Despite elevated expectations for Mohanlal and Lijo Jose Pellissery to deliver a box office hit, the film ended up being a considerable letdown. The overall performance of the movie turned out to be a complete disaster, with the only positive aspect being the commendable quality of its visuals and songs.

Malaikottai Vaaliban undoubtedly offers a distinctive cinematic journey, diverging from conventional filmmaking norms. It may not cater to everyone's taste, as the film boldly steps away from mainstream formulas, presenting a novel and unconventional narrative. While it serves as a visual delight showcasing Mohanlal's charisma, it also falters as a monotonous and uninspiring endeavor, lacking a substantial plot and clear direction. Fantasy action fans with patience for a slow narrative should watch it, but others may be disappointed by the film's shortcomings.

The digital streaming release date for the movie has yet to receive official confirmation, and information about the OTT platform for the Malaikottai Vaaliban OTT Release is expected to be revealed soon. Stay connected to this page for the most recent updates.
