Bethlehem Kudumba Unit Opens Strong in Theatres

Strong Kerala pre‑sales with a sizable India opening suggest the film could ride festival momentum into a solid weekend for its makers.

Overview

  • The Nivin PaulyMamitha Baiju rom‑com directed by Girish AD released in cinemas on Friday and posted strong early commercial signals.
  • Trade estimates compiled by multiple outlets put India opening‑day gross at about Rs 4.7–5.2 crore and reported roughly Rs 1.75 crore in Kerala pre‑sales.
  • Several trade sites also cited worldwide pre‑sales and early grosses in the crores, but those figures remain provisional and are being checked over the weekend.
  • Audience reaction on social platforms has been broadly positive, with praise for the lead performances, chemistry, music and warm tone of the film.
  • Critics generally called it a breezy, well‑crafted rom‑com while some reviews cautioned that the story risks romanticising an age‑gap relationship, a debate likely to shape box‑office legs and word‑of‑mouth.
