The Malayalam heartwarmer Aashaan, starring the much-loved Indrans and directed by Johnpaul George, released in theaters on Thursday, February 5, 2026. Early reports show a quiet but hopeful start for this small-budget, content-driven drama that celebrates cinema and dreams.
As of Saturday, February 7, Day 2 (Friday, February 6) numbers are still being finalized by major trackers, but early estimates point to a stable hold. The film is relying heavily on positive word-of-mouth to grow over the weekend.

Aashaan Box Office Collection Day 2 reflects a typical slow launch for feel-good films like this. It opened modestly on Thursday and saw a small dip on Friday, which is common when facing competition from stronger holdovers like Border 2 and other Malayalam releases such as Valathu Vashathe Kallan.
Reviews have been mostly warm, especially for Indrans’ heartfelt performance as the retired martial artist chasing an acting dream. Some critics mentioned the second half feels a bit slow, but the nostalgia for cinema and the emotional core are winning fans.
Success for a movie like this often comes from steady weekend growth through word-of-mouth in family audiences and smaller centers.
