The much-talked-about Malayalam film Aashaan, starring the legendary Indrans and directed by Johnpaul George, hit theaters yesterday, Thursday, February 5, 2026. Early numbers are in, and the Aashaan Box Office Collection Day 1 shows a soft start—but with plenty of hope riding on word-of-mouth.
This comedy-drama, a loving tribute to the world of cinema, follows an aspiring filmmaker and a retired martial artist chasing his dream role. Indrans is already getting huge praise for carrying the emotional core.
Aashaan Box Office Collection Day 1 – Early Estimates
| Category | Collection (Approx.) |
|---|---|
| India Net | ₹22 Lakhs |
| India Gross | ₹25 Lakhs |
| Worldwide Gross | ₹25 Lakhs |
Aashaan Box Office Collection Day 1 came in at around ₹0.22 crore net in India. For a mid-budget, content-driven film released on a Thursday, this is a modest opening. The real test begins today (Day 2, Friday) and over the weekend—positive reviews and mouth publicity from early viewers could lift it nicely.

Industry trackers and media outlets are keeping a close eye. The film’s honest look at filmmaking struggles, combined with Indrans’ heartfelt performance, has many calling it a slow-burn gem. If families and cinephiles spread the word in places like Kochi, Thrissur, and even smaller towns, we could see a steady climb.
It’s early days, but the love for Indrans and Johnpaul George’s style gives it strong legs.
