The historical comedy-drama Guruvayoor Ambalanadayil is still doing well at the box office. In just 13 days, the movie’s net India total soars to 38.18 crore, after earning 1.03 crore on its second Tuesday. With its current ranking of fifth among the highest-grossing Malayalam films of 2024 in India, Varshangalkku Shesham’s 38.94 crore lifetime collection is barely a hair’s breadth away from being surpassed. Varshangalkku Shesham will probably lose his kingship by the end of the day to Guruvayoor Ambalanadayil.
The movie’s ascent to the top isn’t without difficulties, though. Mammootty and Thalavan’s Turbo and other recent releases have affected Guruvayoor Ambalanadayil’s screen count and occupancy. This demonstrates how the box office is dynamic and how competition may have a big impact on a movie’s performance.
Guruvayoor Ambalanadayil has held on its own in spite of this. With 31 crore already collected, its international collections are a bright area. This helps the movie surpass the coveted 75 crore milestone and brings its total gross collection to a solid 76.05 crore worldwide.
The next goal is to beat the world record of 82.44 crore held by Varshangalkku Shesham. If this were to happen, Guruvayoor Ambalanadayil will be the fifth-highest grossing Malayalam movie of 2024 on a global scale.
Here is an overview of the current rankings:
The top five highest-grossing Malayalam movies in India for 2024:
- Manjummel Boys: 142 crore
- 85.17 crore for Aadujeevitham – The Goat Life
- Aavesham: 85.12 crore
- Premalu 76.10 crore
- Varshangalkku Shesham: 38.94 crore
- (it’s expected that by the end of the day, Guruvayoor Ambalanadayil will take the lead).
It would be exciting to see Guruvayoor Ambalanadayil’s performance in the upcoming weeks as fresh releases approach and the competition heats up. Will it be able to maintain its pace and continue to ascend the charts, or will the newcomers present a serious obstacle? Time will tell.
