Biju Menon and Joju George’s thriller holds steady through weekend before weekday reality hits
Director Jeethu Joseph brought another thriller to Malayalam cinema with “Valathu Vasathe Kallan,” starring Biju Menon and Joju George. The film released on January 30, 2026, and just completed its opening weekend plus Monday.
The movie showed consistent growth through the weekend, but like most films, Monday brought a sharp decline in collections.
Valathu Vasathe Kallan Box Office Collection Day 4
The Valathu Vasathe Kallan box office collection Day 4 shows the typical pattern most thrillers follow. Here’s the complete breakdown:
| Day | Date | Collection (India) | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day 1 | Jan 30 (Friday) | ₹1.05 Crore | Opening |
| Day 2 | Jan 31 (Saturday) | ₹1.10 Crore | +4.76% |
| Day 3 | Feb 1 (Sunday) | ₹1.15 Crore | +4.55% |

Weekend Was Stable
The good news first – the Valathu Vasathe Kallan box office collection Day 4 benefited from a solid weekend. The film grew slightly each day from Friday to Sunday, gaining around 4-5% daily. That’s exactly what you want to see!
This steady weekend growth suggests people who watched it liked the thriller enough to recommend it to others. Jeethu Joseph is known for making gripping films, and this one seems to have delivered on that front.
Monday Reality
Then came Monday, and the Valathu Vasathe Kallan box office collection Day 4 dropped by over 70%. Collections fell from ₹1.15 crores on Sunday to just ₹0.34 crores on Monday.
This is pretty normal for mid-budget thrillers. Weekdays are tough unless the film has massive word-of-mouth or star power pulling people in.

Where It’s Working
Interestingly, theater occupancy on Day 4 was around 10.49% overall in Malayalam regions. Night shows did better at nearly 17%, which makes sense – people prefer watching thrillers in evening screenings.
The film is doing surprisingly well in non-Kerala markets! Bengaluru showed over 22% occupancy, and Chennai wasn’t far behind. This indicates the film is finding audiences beyond its home state.
The Valathu Vasathe Kallan box office collection Day 4 needs to stabilize through the week to ensure profitability. The thriller genre has loyal fans, so recovery is possible!
