Collection:
Kalamkaval,
the
latest
Malayalam
crime
thriller
headlined
by
Mammootty
and
Vinayakan,
continues
its
theatrical
run
as
it
completes
its
third
day
at
the
box
office
on
December
7,
2025.
The
film,
directed
by
debutant
Jithin
K.
Jose
and
co-written
with
Jishnu
Sreekumar,
is
produced
under
the
Mammootty
Kampany
banner
and
has
generated
steady
footfalls
across
key
centers
since
its
release.
According
to
the
latest
update
shared
by
film
industry
tracker
AB
George
on
social
media
late
Sunday
evening,
Kalamkaval
has
recorded
its
strongest
day
so
far
at
the
Kerala
box
office
on
Day
3.
The
post
indicated
a
consistent
upward
trend
in
daily
collections,
with
Day
3
outperforming
both
Day
1
and
Day
2.
Early
worldwide
three-day
estimates
place
the
film’s
gross
in
the
range
of
₹44-45
crore.
The
tracker
also
noted
that
this
places
Kalamkaval
among
Mammootty’s
notable
opening
weekends,
drawing
comparisons
with
two
of
his
earlier
releases,
Bheeshma
Parvam
(2022)
and
Turbo
(2024),
both
of
which
had
collected
just
over
₹44
crore
during
their
respective
four-day
opening
spans.

Plot
Overview
and
Crew
Details
Kalamkaval
is
set
in
early-2000s
Kerala
and
follows
the
investigation
of
Officer
Jayakrishnan,
who
is
assigned
to
probe
the
actual
cause
behind
a
communal
clash
in
the
southern
region
of
the
state.
The
inquiry
gradually
expands
beyond
the
initial
incident,
revealing
possible
links
to
a
series
of
unresolved
disappearances
of
young
women
over
several
years.
As
the
officer
moves
through
rural
locations,
official
records,
and
hesitant
witnesses,
the
case
develops
into
a
multilayered
investigation
marked
by
secrecy
and
conflicting
accounts.
Alongside
Mammootty
and
Vinayakan,
the
cast
includes
Gibin
Gopinath,
Gayatri
Arun,
Rajisha
Vijayan,
and
Shruti
Ramachandran.
From
a
technical
standpoint,
the
film
features
cinematography
by
Faisal
Ali,
editing
by
Praveen
Prabhakar,
and
production
design
by
Shajie
Naduvil.
Music
is
composed
by
Mujeeb
Majeed,
while
action
sequences
are
choreographed
by
Action
Santhosh.
Sound
design
has
been
handled
by
Kishan
Mohan,
with
visual
effects
supervised
by
S.
Santhosh
Raju
and
coordinated
by
Dixon
P.
Jo.
Comparison
with
Earlier
Mammootty
Releases
The
comparison
films
referenced
in
the
recent
box
office
update,
Bheeshma
Parvam
and
Turbo,
were
released
in
2022
and
2024,
respectively.
Bheeshma
Parvam,
directed
by
Amal
Neerad,
was
an
action
thriller
set
against
a
crime
backdrop,
while
Turbo,
directed
by
Vysakh
and
written
by
Midhun
Manuel
Thomas,
was
positioned
as
an
action
comedy.
Turbo
was
produced
by
Mammootty
Kampany,
and
Bheeshma
Parvam
was
produced
by
Amal
Neerad
Productions
and
had
established
strong
opening
weekend
numbers
during
their
theatrical
runs.
With
Kalamkaval
now
entering
the
weekday
phase
after
its
opening
weekend,
trade
observers
are
expected
to
closely
watch
its
hold
over
the
coming
days.
The
film’s
performance
on
Monday
and
beyond
will
be
crucial
in
determining
how
it
sustains
its
momentum
after
the
initial
weekend-driven
surge.
