The Malayalam film Mohiniyattam has crossed the ₹25 crore mark at the box office, marking a strong commercial performance and drawing attention for its steady theatrical run.

The film’s entry into the ₹25 crore club highlights its growing audience response, with reports suggesting continued houseful shows in several centres. The success is being seen as a notable turnaround in a market where sequels often struggle to maintain momentum.

 

Mohaniyattam has been described as a rare case where a follow-up film has performed strongly in theatres despite mixed expectations for franchise continuity. The narrative reportedly continues the storyline of Bharatanatyam, focusing on the aftermath of earlier events and the challenges faced by the characters.
