Bharathanatyam 2 Mohiniyattam, starring Saiju Kurup and Suraj Venjaramoodu, continues its strong run at the Kerala box office. The black comedy added around Rs. 1.15 crore on its second Wednesday (Day 13), taking its total to an impressive Rs. 15.55 crore gross.
Steady run heads toward Rs. 20 crore
With consistent weekday holds, the film is expected to close its second week at approximately Rs. 16.50 crore. Trade estimates suggest a solid jump in the third weekend, which should comfortably push the film past the Rs. 20 crore milestone. Its long-term performance will depend on how well it sustains momentum during the weekdays that follow.
Already a ‘Clean Hit’
Backed by strong word of mouth, the Saiju Kurup-led film has already secured a “Clean Hit” status at the Kerala box office—an impressive feat for a mid-scale Malayalam release.
