‘Malayalee From India’ box office collection day 9: Nivin Pauly’s film earns Rs 9.17 crore from India

Dijo Jose Antony’s directorial ‘Malayalee From India’ featuring Nivin Pauly, Dhyan Sreenivasan, and Anaswara Rajan in the lead roles is seeing a downhill performance at the box office. The film, which was released in cinemas on May 1, has collected Rs 9.17 crore in net collections across India in the initial 9 days, according to a report by Sacnilk.On its ninth day, May 9, the film collected Rs 33 lakh in India net.
The audience turnout wasn’t impressive, given that it has been only a few days since the film hit the theatres. On Thursday, May 09, ‘Malayalee From India’ maintained a Malayalam occupancy of 13.50% . The morning shows recorded 7.78% turnout, followed by afternoon shows at 14.97%. The evening and night shows boasted even higher turnouts, with 14.33% and 16.92% respectively.

The upcoming days will be challenging for the film as new Malayalam releases are hitting the cinemas today, May 10.
ETimes rated the film 3 out of 5 and wrote, “Dijo Jose Antony's Malayalee From India is a well intentioned film with the makings of something that could have done wonders in terms of political commentary or even addressing the root of some of the social issues. But, somewhere the control over the story and the scale of it is lost, leading to an underwhelming climax which was more for the gallery than anything. That said, Nivin Pauly has once again given a good performance which was wild and unhinged when necessary and grounded when that was required. The message of the film is clear but it goes to deliver it in such a roundabout way that one would feel like they watched two different films.”
