Khalifa Posts Roughly Rs 36 Crore First-Week Worldwide Total

Overseas box office has propped up the film’s global tally, leaving its run dependent on second‑weekend footfall to regain lost shows in Kerala.

Overview

Khalifa, which opened on Aug 20, began with a strong first day but then saw daily drops through the first week that softened its domestic momentum.
After seven days the film’s worldwide total is reported at about Rs 36 crore, with overseas receipts contributing roughly Rs 17.7–18.3 crore to that figure.
India net totals reported for the opening week vary across outlets, ranging from about Rs 15.4 crore to Rs 16.6 crore because different trackers use different show and net/gross measures.
Day‑7 India net figures differ by source: Sacnilk reported Rs 1.53 crore while Koimoi reported Rs 1.35 crore, reflecting small but meaningful box‑office reporting gaps.
The film lost shows to other Onam releases — notably Bethlehem Kudumba Unit and the midweek release Toxic — and its short‑term prospects hinge on weekend footfall, regained screens, and audience response.
