Ashakal Aayiram Box Office Collection: The Malayalam film Ashakal Aayiram, starring Jayaram and Kalidas Jayaram, has completed its first two days at the box office following its theatrical release on February 6. As the film entered Day 3 of its run on Sunday, February 8, early box office figures indicate a gradual increase in collections on its second day.
According to estimates reported by box office tracking website Sacnilk, Ashakal Aayiram earned around ₹0.46 crore net in India on its opening day. On Day 2, the film saw an uptick in footfall, collecting approximately ₹0.62 crore net. This brings its two-day India net total to about ₹1.08 crore. While the numbers remain modest, the Day 2 growth suggests slightly improved audience turnout compared to the first day. The film’s performance over Sunday and the subsequent weekdays will be key in assessing its overall theatrical prospects.
