'Ashakal Aayiram' box office collections day 14: Kalidas Jayaram film crosses Rs 6.26 crores India Net
'Ashakal Aayiram' remains a crowd-pleaser as it celebrates its fourteenth day at the box office, raking in an impressive Rs 17 lakhs that elevates its domestic earnings to Rs 6.26 crore. While weekday box office performance dipped, the evening and night crowds have breathed new life into ticket sales.
'Ashakal Aayiram' continued its theatrical journey with a modest performance on its fourteenth day. The film earned an estimated Rs 17 lakhs India net on Thursday according to early figures from the Sacnilk website. This takes its total domestic collection to Rs 6.26 crore. The Malayalam drama had earlier shown stability through its first thirteen days by accumulating around Rs 6.09 crore before the Day 14 estimates arrived. While the weekday slowdown was expected the dip from its second Wednesday collection of Rs 21 lakhs crore reflects the film’s gradual slow down in terms of box office traction. The second week began with Rs 26 lakhs on Monday which was followed by Rs 27 lakhs on Tuesday before a slight drop on Wednesday.

Occupancy trends show mild evening recovery

The Malayalam (2D) occupancy for Thursday averaged 7.89% across India. The morning and afternoon shows stayed under 7%, with 6.91% and 6.81% respectively. Evening shows saw a slight drop to 6.44%. The most encouraging turnout came during night shows, which recorded 11.40% occupancy.

What viewers are saying

Directed by G. Prajith the film features an ensemble led by Jayaram, Kalidas Jayaram, Asha Sarath, and Sharafudheen.One online reviewer wrote, "The film gets interesting near the interval when the father and son compete in acting, raising some expectations."
The sequence appears to be one of the most talked-about segments, generating curiosity among those who follow the duo’s real-life family chemistry.Another reviewer praised the cast, stating, "Jayaram has made a subtle performance as the family man and Kalidas also excelled in his role. Asha Sharath gave an incredible performance as a lovely homemaker balancing the father son dynamics. Sharaf also gave decent delivery in the movie."One viewer remarked, "However, the second half focuses too much on predictable emotional drama, which feels dragged and lacks impact." Another criticism noted that several comedic scenes felt foreseeable: "Most of the comedy scenes are predictable—you can sense the joke before it happens—and except for a few moments, the humor doesn't really work."Though not a blockbuster, 'Ashakal Aayiram' has set itself as a steady family entertainer.See More: ‘Toxic’ teaser out: Yash as Raya unleashes fierce aura: ‘It’s over, when I say it’s over’DISCLAIMER: The box office numbers and data in this article are compiled from diverse public and industry sources.
