With Only 29% Budget Recovery One Of Malayalam Films Heading Towards Disaster!
Malayalam box office witnessed a triple clash on Valentine’s Day with a comedy-drama Bromance, an action drama, Daveed, and a family drama – Painkili. Out of the three films, Arun D Jose’s adventure comedy is very close to claiming the hit verdict.
Meanwhile, the other two films are heading towards two opposite verdicts, one of them turning into a disaster and the other one very close to its budget recovery! In eight days, the action drama earned 67% more than the family drama!
Painkili Budget & Profit
Painkili is mounted on a reported budget of 10 crore at the box office, and the film is far from recovering its budget, earning only 29.4% of its investment! The film is still 7.06 crore away from recovering its entire budget and entering the profit-making zone!
Daveed Budget & Profit
Daveed is mounted on a reported budget of 5 crore at the box office, and the film has recovered 90.4% of its entire budget. It needs to earn 48 lakh to enter the profit-making zone. However, it would be difficult for the film to claim a hit verdict since it would need a total collection of 10 crore in its lifetime!
Check out the day-wise breakdown of Daveed VS Painkili at the box office.
- Day 1: 90 lakh VS 70 lakh
- Day 2: 80 lakh VS 55 lakh
- Day 3: 1.1 crore VS 72 lakh

- Day 5: 44 lakh VS 25 lakh
- Day 6: 38 lakh VS 22 lakh
