Two Malayalam releases face their first weekday test with surprising results
Monday is the real test for any new film, and two recent Malayalam releases just went through it. “Valathu Vasathe Kallan” and “Prakambanam” both released on January 30, 2026, and faced their first Monday on February 2.
The results? Quite interesting! While one film leads in total earnings, the other won the Monday battle.

Monday Winner
The Valathu Vasathe Kallan Day 4 vs Prakambanam Day 4 collection shows “Prakambanam” earned exactly double on Monday – ₹0.68 crores versus ₹0.34 crores!
Why did the horror-comedy win Monday? Simple – it’s attracting younger audiences and college crowds who prefer lighter, entertaining films on weekdays. The 16.17% occupancy proves people are still showing up.
“Valathu Vasathe Kallan” saw its occupancy drop to just 10.49%, which is typical for serious thrillers on weekdays.
Overall Leader
Despite losing Monday, the Valathu Vasathe Kallan Day 4 vs Prakambanam Day 4 collection comparison shows Jeethu Joseph’s film is still ahead overall with ₹3.64 crores versus ₹3.31 crores.
This lead came from a stronger opening weekend. The “Jeethu Joseph” name and the thriller genre brought more people initially, giving it a head start.
Where Are They Strong?
Prakambanam is killing it in Kochi and Kozhikode – cities with younger, fun-loving crowds.
Valathu Vasathe Kallan is surprisingly strong in Bengaluru and Chennai – markets outside Kerala where serious thrillers find dedicated audiences.
Both films are running neck-and-neck. The weekdays ahead will decide which one emerges as the bigger success!
