Prakambanam Box Office Collection: Prakambanam, the Malayalam campus-based drama featuring Ganapathi and Sagar Surya in the lead, has completed two days of its theatrical run in India. The film, which released in cinemas on January 30, 2026, is directed by Vijesh Panathur and is backed by producers Sreejith KS, Karthikeyan S, and Sudheesh N. As of February 1, Day 3 shows are currently underway, with trade circles keeping a close watch on Sunday performance.
According to film industry tracker AB George, Prakambanam recorded a noticeable rise in collections on its second day compared to its opening. The All India gross for Day 2 is reported to have reached the ₹1 crore mark.

Story Outline, Cast And Technical Crew Overview
The film is set largely within a college hostel environment in Ernakulam and revolves around the lives of three friends navigating campus politics, everyday pranks, and the general chaos of student life. What begins as a light-hearted portrayal of youth culture gradually takes an unexpected turn, altering the dynamics between the characters and pushing the narrative into more unpredictable territory. The story unfolds through a mix of humour and disruption, focusing on how a single twist can upend an otherwise carefree routine.
Alongside the lead pair, the ensemble cast includes Ameen, Rajesh Madhavan, Sheethal Joseph, Kalabhavan Navas, P P Kunhi Krishnan, Azeez Nedumangad, and others. The film’s screenplay and dialogues are written by Sreehari Vadakkan, while cinematography is handled by Alby Antony. Editing duties are overseen by Sooraj E S, with music composed by Bibin Ashok and background score by Sankar Sharma.
From a production standpoint, Prakambanam is presented by Navarasa Films in association with Stone Bench Studio. The technical crew also features Subash Karun as production designer, Ajith Achuthan as art director, and action direction by Vicky Nandhagopal and Mafiya Sasi. Sound design is credited to Kishan Mohan, with the final mix by M R Rajakrishnan and DI by Remesh CP at Color Planet Studios.
In terms of theatrical distribution, the film is being released in Kerala by Navarasa Release, while overseas rights are handled by RFT Entertainment (excluding the GCC) and Phars Films (GCC regions). With Sunday collections still being reported, trade observers are focusing on how the film holds through the remainder of the weekend. A clearer assessment of Prakambanam’s box office standing is expected once full weekend figures are consolidated.
