The Malayalam film ‘I’m Game’ earned Rs 1.45 crore less than ‘King of Kotha’ on its opening day, according to box‑office data.
The new Malayalam release ‘I’m Game’, starring Dulquer Salmaan, opened across theatres on Friday. Box‑office reports show that its first‑day earnings were Rs 1.45 crore lower than the opening day takings of the concurrent release ‘King of Kotha’.
Industry observers note that ‘King of Kotha’ captured a larger share of the weekend audience, translating into a higher gross on day one.
The gap in collections highlights the competitive nature of the current Malayalam market, where multiple high‑profile films vie for screen space and viewer attention. Analysts suggest that factors such as star power, marketing spend and genre appeal may have contributed to the differing performances.
