The latest film from the dynamic duo of Nivin Pauly and Dijo Jose Antony, ‘Malayalee from India,’ has hit a stumbling block at the box office, collecting in a meager Rs 46 lakhs over a six-day period.

According to the Sacnilk website, despite a promising start, where the film raked in an impressive Rs 7.50 Cr net in its initial five days, its total Indian collections are now at Rs 7.96 crore.

On Monday, May 6, 2024, the movie managed to secure a 15.63% Malayalam occupancy, with attendance varying across different show timings. Morning shows saw an 8.45% turnout, followed by afternoon shows at 16.86%, evening shows at 15.88%, and night shows leading the pack with 21.31% attendance.

While Nivin Pauly's performance continues to garner praise from audiences, overall reviews remain mixed. However, amidst the movie's release buzz, controversy has reared its head. Writer Nishad Koya has leveled allegations of plagiarism against ‘Malayalee from India’.

Directed by Dijo Jose Antony and penned by Sharis Mohammed, the drama film boasts a stellar cast including Nivin Pauly, Dhyan Sreenivasan, Deepak Jethi, and Anaswara Rajan. Adding musical flair to the narrative is Jakes Bejoy with his captivating compositions.
