Dominating the Competition

Eko’s performance becomes even more impressive when compared to its direct competitor. While Prithviraj Sukumaran’s Vilaayath Budha managed only ₹4.15 crore in Kerala over five days, Eko more than doubled that figure with ₹8.80 crore in the same period.

The film’s Kerala dominance is remarkable, with approximately 80 percent of domestic collections originating from its home territory. Starting with a modest ₹70 lakh opening, the mystery thriller peaked on Sunday with ₹3.50 crore, showcasing exceptional word-of-mouth growth.

Tuesday witnessed strong holdover business with ₹1.70 crore additions, indicating sustained audience interest beyond the opening weekend. According to Box Office India, such weekday stability typically signals long-term theatrical success.

The ensemble cast featuring Sandeep Pradeep, Vineeth, Narain, Binu Pappu, and Biana Momin delivers compelling performances that have resonated with critics and audiences alike. Malaysian model Sim Zhi Fei’s debut performance has also garnered considerable praise.

Strong Overseas Performance
