The average attendance in the metros is a whopping 85%, with the rural areas also doing well at around 65%. The film has held up really well on Monday, with the drop being less than 20%, and looks good for a first week gross of 3.20 – 3.25 Crores.

Asif Ali makes a tremendous come back with a potential solo hit since Salt N Pepper in 2011. The film can ensure a hit status, with a gross of 4.50 – 4.75 Crores, if the collections do not go for a freefall, upon the release of ABCD and Singam II on June 14.

The release is relatively wide, with 74 theatres in Kerala, aiming to rake in the maximum before the big ones raid the theaters. Kalasangham distributes the film in Travancore, Manjunatha in Kochi, and KAS Release in Malabar area.
