The Malayalam star’s latest film ‘I’m Game’ collected less than Rs 5 crore on its opening day, indicating a slow start at the box office.
Dulquer Salmaan’s new Malayalam release, "I’m Game," earned under Rs 5 crore on its first day, according to data reported by ETV Bharat. The modest figure points to a tepid response from audiences during the opening weekend.
Industry observers had anticipated a stronger debut, given the actor’s recent box‑office successes and the film’s extensive promotional campaign. However, the opening earnings fell short of those expectations.
Analysts suggest that the film’s performance may be affected by stiff competition from other regional releases and limited screen allocation in key markets. The mixed early reviews could also be influencing audience turnout.
Distributors will be closely watching the film’s collections over the next few days to gauge whether word‑of‑mouth can boost attendance and improve the overall box‑office trajectory.
