Tovino Thomas’ thriller ‘Narivetta’, directed by Anuraj Manohar, appears to be losing its early momentum at the box office as it enters the second week of its theatrical run.According to the Sacnilk website, on Day 12 (June 3, 2025), the film earned Rs 46 lakhs across all languages in India, bringing its total domestic net collection to Rs 14.37 crore.
Week 2 dip after solid opening
The film opened strong on its first weekend, with Rs 1.65 crore on Friday, growing to Rs 2.25 crore on Sunday. However, as expected with weekday drops, the numbers gradually dipped. After wrapping up week 1 with a solid Rs 9.9 crore, ‘Narivetta’ had a slight resurgence in its second weekend, collecting Rs 1.08 crore on Saturday and Rs 1.44 crore on Sunday. But the Monday blues hit again, and collections dropped sharply to Rs 68 lakhs on Day 11 and further to Rs 46 lakhs on Day 12.
Occupancy rates
On Tuesday (Day 12), the film recorded an overall Malayalam occupancy of 15.66%. The occupancy ranged from just 8.98% in morning shows to 20.88% in night shows. Despite the dip, the film still holds decent screens and may have a chance to extend its run modestly if word of mouth picks up again.What’s next for the film?The reviews are coming in mixed for the Tovino starrer. Due to the same reason and also looking at the tough competition ahead, including Kamal Haasan and Mani Ratnam’s ‘Thug Life’ and Mohanlal’s ‘Chotta Mumbai’ re-release, it would be hard for ‘Narivetta’ to sustain in theatres.
