Ashakal Aayiram Box Office Collection: Ashakal Aayiram, starring Jayaram and Kalidas Jayaram, has completed its first three days at the box office following its theatrical release on February 6. As of today, February 9 (Day 4), the Malayalam film has moved into its weekday run after closing its opening weekend with steady but moderate collections.
According to early estimates reported by industry tracker Sacnilk, Ashakal Aayiram has earned approximately ₹1.8 crore (India net) across its first three days in theatres. The film opened to ₹0.46 crore on its first day (Friday), followed by a rise on Saturday with collections of about ₹0.62 crore. The upward trend continued on Sunday, with Day 3 figures estimated at ₹0.72 crore. These numbers helped the film close its opening weekend on a cumulative total of ₹1.8 crore.
The day-wise growth suggests that the film benefited from weekend footfalls rather than a strong initial surge on its opening day. Sunday emerged as the highest-grossing day of the opening stretch, indicating relatively better audience turnout during the holiday compared to the working-day release start.
