There’s something truly special about a simple family story that feels real and warm enough to bring people back to theaters again and again. That’s exactly what’s happening with Aashakal Aayiram, the heartfelt drama starring real-life father-son duo Jayaram and Kalidas Jayaram.
Released on February 6, 2026, the film has quietly built a loyal audience through pure word-of-mouth. As of Day 12 (Tuesday, February 17, 2026), it added another steady amount, pushing its India net total to around ₹5.61 crore.
The Aashakal Aayiram box office collection Day 12 proves that clean, emotional stories still have strong pulling power even in a busy month.
The film opened decently, peaked during its first weekend, dipped naturally mid-week, then bounced back nicely over the second weekend. Tuesday’s small drop is completely expected for any weekday run.
