The Malayalam action film Chatha Pacha has kicked off its theatrical run with impressive momentum, demonstrating solid box office performance in its initial days. According to data from the Sacnilk website, the film has accumulated a noteworthy Rs 5.5 crores in net collections across India within just two days of release.
Detailed Day-Wise Box Office Performance
Breaking down the numbers reveals a consistent performance pattern. On the opening day, Chatha Pacha earned approximately Rs 3.4 crores in India net collections. The second day saw a slight dip with collections of around Rs 2.1 crores, bringing the two-day total to the impressive Rs 5.5 crore mark.
While the Day 2 figures were marginally lower than the opening day, the overall collection remains robust, indicating sustained audience interest. The film's performance is particularly strong in its core Malayalam-speaking markets, where it has achieved the full Rs 5.5 crore net collection in just two days.
Worldwide and Gross Collection Figures
Expanding the view to global collections, Chatha Pacha has already gathered approximately Rs 6.5 crores worldwide. The India gross collection mirrors this figure, also standing at around Rs 6.5 crores, showcasing the film's balanced performance across different revenue metrics.
Cast, Crew, and Unique Wrestling Theme
Directed by Adwaith Nayar, the film features Roshan Mathew and Arjun Ashokan in lead roles, supported by a talented ensemble cast including Siddique, Lakshmi Menon, Ishan Shoukath, and Vishak Nair in significant parts.
What sets Chatha Pacha apart is its innovative blend of action with costume wrestling, introducing a fresh cinematic element to Malayalam cinema. This unique approach has generated considerable excitement, particularly among young audiences and WWE enthusiasts, who are drawn to the film's raw energy and ring-based fight sequences.
Critical Reception and Audience Response
The film has received mixed reviews from critics and viewers alike. While many appreciate the novel concept and dynamic energy, some have noted concerns about uneven narrative pacing.
An ETimes review captured this dichotomy, stating: "Adhvaith Nayar's Chatha Pacha is a film with its share of ups and downs. There are portions that are highly entertaining, followed by stretches where the narrative seems to jump all over the place. While the decision to limit the personal interactions between the two lead characters is understandable—given the chosen premise and central conflict—those interactions could have been developed more effectively. The basic storyline itself is not new, but the incorporation of costume wrestling into the narrative adds an interesting dimension. However, it is not the high voltage WWE inspired film that was promised."
Despite these varied opinions, Chatha Pacha is clearly finding its target audience. The combination of action sequences, wrestling elements, and youthful vigor appears to be resonating well with moviegoers, contributing to its solid box office performance.
