This is a significant 26.19% spike from its previous day's collection. On Tuesday, the film had only collected 42 lakh.

The horror-comedy features Ganapathi, Sagar Surya, and Ameen in the lead roles, while actors Rajesh Madhavan, Sheethal Joseph, Kalabhavan Navas, PP Kunhi Krishnan, and Azeez Nedumangad are seen in pivotal roles in the film. TOI has ranked the film 3 out of 5, and the review reads, “Director Vijesh Panathur keeps the tone easy and playful, while writer Sreehari Vadakkan builds humour through everyday hostel life. The actors show good comic timing, and the camerawork and background score quietly support the shifts between carefree fun and mild spooky moments, helping the film maintain its horror-comedy rhythm. It’s not trying to be groundbreaking, but it’s packed with laughs and works perfectly as a horror-comedy that young theater-goers will love. ”DISCLAIMER: The box office numbers and data in this article are compiled from diverse public and industry sources.
