The film is now almost at the end of its theatrical run, with the fifth week plummeting 85 per cent from the previous week. It will likely close over/under Rs. 102 crore, though it could have gone higher to something like Rs. 110 crore or maybe even Rs. 120 crore plus with dubbed versions if not for the early digital release, which curtailed its run in Kerala.
In Kerala, the exhibitor association bars films from being screened once they hit OTT platforms. While this might seem strict, this is one move to get behind if one is pro cinema. The four-week window for digital release doesn't make sense, especially in Kerala where films have longer runs. The argument for the shorter window is usually the size of the cheque offered by OTT platforms, which is the case here as well but that is being shortsighted. In the long run, the shrinking of the window will jeopardize the foundational revenue stream i.e. theatrical and that will sting even more when the inflated digital rights eventually get corrected.
