Hridayapoorvam Box Office Collection Day 8: Mohanlal Film Sees Strong Jump

Hridayapoorvam Box Office Collection Day 8

It happened again, and nobody in Kochi seems even a bit surprised: Hridayapoorvam didn’t just survive its eighth day, it scored a solid ₹2.30 crore net in India. That's a midweek leap that would make more than a few popcorn vendors rub their hands – or at least joke that Mohanlal fans “don’t know what a weekday is.” I ran into an uncle at the Ernakulam Gold theatre—he had already watched the film twice, and was plotting a third round as if it were just another friendly Onam repeat. “It’s a family event,” he grinned, “with slightly better air conditioning than my living room.”

The Community Buzz Persists

Day 8 didn’t just float along quietly. The post-Onam buzz felt as alive as ever, with “evening and night tickets going faster than app updates on festival Mondays.” The community word-of-mouth—classic WhatsApp auntie chains, people shouting showtimes down the lane, and those family groups that somehow get twenty cousins in a single row—still powered the box office.

And sure, “Lokah” is out there snapping up plenty of headlines, but Hridayapoorvam’s hold isn’t accidental: it’s powered by crowd warmth, repeat viewings, and—let’s admit—a serious Mohanlal effect.

Day-wise, Here’s the Real Story

Eighth day numbers felt like a little festival encore. After seven days of bouncing collections—no flat lines here, just a rhythm that keeps theaters busy—Day 8 came through, surprising some exhibitors who were nervously watching the competing screens.

Here’s a loose day-wise collection for Hridayapoorvam’s first week-plus:

Show Occupancy, Region by Region

The occupancy story for Day 8: “30.80% Malayalam average,” peaking at over 40% for night shows. Those evening show numbers? They quietly thrashed even the festival buzz, with families squeezing in last-minute tickets and friends lining up like it was a Friday—except it wasn’t.

Some regional flavor, just for the record:

• Kochi: 48.75% overall (and a chunky 70% at night; “magic hour,” one manager said)

• Kozhikode: 51.50% overall (“Night shows? Nearly packed. Local schools wished for a second holiday!”)

• Kottayam: 54.25% occupancy (post-dinner crowds, said the exhausted guy at the snack counter)

• Thrissur: 42.50% overall (“Always there for family-friendly hits, with a local twist”)

Quiet Triumph in the Numbers

The film’s week-one trajectory is what you’d call “community-powered,” not just a splashy opening but a genuine hangout movie. With the total pushing above ₹20 crore India net in just 8 days, and the overseas circuit sending back heartening numbers powered by Gulf families, this run’s turning out to be more than just a festive hype.
