Vrusshabha Slumps on Day 2, Still Under Rs 1 Crore in India

Early trade data points to weak word of mouth across versions, raising serious questions against a reported Rs 70 crore outlay.

Overview

  • Day two collections are estimated at Rs 32 lakh, taking the two‑day India net to about Rs 92 lakh, according to Sacnilk figures reported by The Indian Express.
  • Opening day was pegged at roughly Rs 61 lakh net, with Malayalam at about Rs 46 lakh, Telugu near Rs 13 lakh, and Hindi around Rs 2 lakh, marking one of Mohanlal’s softest starts in recent years.
  • BookMyShow metrics showed roughly six tickets sold per minute on day one, totaling about 8.54K tickets in 24 hours, signaling weak traction at counters.
  • Reviews from India Today and Pinkvilla cite weak writing, tacky VFX, and clumsy dialogue, though Mohanlal’s performance is repeatedly singled out as a bright spot.
  • Trade coverage notes a budget near Rs 70 crore and suggests a similar net needed for a ‘safe zone’, highlighting steep commercial risk given the early decline.
