Blessy’s survival drama, Aadujeevitham – The Goat Life, has emerged as a box office force to be reckoned with.

On Day 8, Aadujeevitham collected 3.15 crore at the domestic box office. It has struck a chord with audiences in its home state of Kerala. With over 40 crore collected in Malayalam alone, the film boasts exceptional regional appeal. While the performance in other languages remains modest, the international market has responded positively, contributing a healthy 39.50 crore to the worldwide total of 93.60 crore.

The Mollywood film has defied the usual pattern of slow-burning word-of-mouth success. Despite strong pre-release buzz, many anticipated the film’s niche subject matter might limit its appeal. However, Aadujeevitham – The Goat Life has raked in a phenomenal 47 crore domestically within its first week, nearly doubling Manjummel Boys‘ eight-day collection of 26.35 crore. This suggests a strong initial audience reception, potentially fueled by the film’s adaptation of a beloved novel and Prithviraj’s powerful performance.

The question now is: can Aadujeevitham sustain this momentum? Manjummel Boys found its true legs in its second week, fueled by positive word-of-mouth. Aadujeevitham, however, has already benefitted from strong early reviews. This could mean a slightly less dramatic second-week jump compared to its predecessor.
However, the Prithiviraj-starrer still boasts a clear advantage – an open run at the box office. With minimal competition on the horizon, Aadujeevitham has the potential to continue its dominance and potentially cross the coveted 100 crore nett mark domestically. This would be a historic feat for a Malayalam film, putting Aadujeevitham in a league of its own.

Whether it can surpass Manjummel Boys’ overall collections of 126 crore domestically and 220 crore worldwide remains to be seen. But one thing is certain – Aadujeevitham has established itself as a box office champion, rewriting records and proving that powerful storytelling can resonate with audiences across borders and languages.
