Prakambanam BO collection day 2: Sagar Surya starrer jumps big, worldwide gross hits Rs 1.43 crore

The Malayalam horror-comedy 'Prakambanam' has registered a notable upswing at the box office on its second day, signalling growing audience interest after a modest opening. The film witnessed a substantial jump in collections on day 2, particularly across Kerala centres, helping it reach a worldwide gross of approximately Rs 1.43 crore.

According to early trade estimates, 'Prakambanam' collected around Rs 90 lakh in Kerala on its second day, more than doubling its Day 1 figure.

The significant improvement indicates favourable word of mouth, especially for the film’s blend of humour and spooky elements. The India net collection currently stands at Rs 1.28 crore, suggesting a stable trend as the film heads into the weekend.

Day-wise numbers reflect a clear upward curve. While the film opened with relatively restrained figures of around Rs 38 lakh in Kerala, the second day’s performance points to increasing footfalls, particularly during evening and night shows. Trade analysts believe that if this momentum continues, 'Prakambanam' could post even healthier numbers over the next few days.

Set largely in a college hostel environment in Ernakulam, the film follows the lives of three college friends whose everyday routine of campus politics, pranks, and youthful chaos is disrupted by an unexpected incident. What follows is a fast-paced mix of eerie situations and comic moments, a combination that appears to be resonating well with younger audiences.

The film stars Ganapathi and Sagar Surya in the lead, with supporting performances by Sheethal Joseph and AL Ameen. Direction duties are handled by Vijesh Panathur, who has also co-written the script along with Sreehari Vadakkan.

Social media reactions have largely been positive, with viewers praising the film’s comic timing, theatrical experience, and Sagar Surya’s performance in particular. Many audience members have highlighted the balance between humour and horror as one of the film’s key strengths.

With encouraging word of mouth and a strong second-day jump, 'Prakambanam' appears to be settling into a promising box office run, especially if the upward trend sustains through the weekend.
