Impressive Opening Day

Malayalam film superstar Mammootty’s latest film, ‘Turbo’, released on May 23, has set new records at the box office. The film achieved the highest opening day collection in Mammootty’s career, earning Rs 6.25 crore on its first day, surpassing his previous record with ‘Bhishma Parvam’. ‘Turbo’ also recorded the second-highest opening day collection of 2024, following ‘Aadujeevitam’, which earned Rs 8.75 crore on its first day.

Subsequent Days’ Earnings

However, ‘Turbo’ experienced a decline in earnings on its second day, collecting Rs 3.7 crore. By the third day, initial figures indicate that the film earned Rs 3.25 crore till 10 pm. The total collection so far stands at Rs 13.2 crore, but these are not the final figures, and there might be an increase.

Weekend Projections

Given the initial trends, ‘Turbo’ is expected to make a significant collection over the weekend. The film’s weekend performance will provide a clearer picture of its overall box office success and its potential to recover its production budget.

Breaking Previous Records

Directed by Vaishakh, ‘Turbo’ has broken the opening day collection record of Mammootty’s previous film, ‘Bhishma Parvam’, which had earned Rs 5.8 crore. The film’s opening day performance places it just behind Prithviraj Sukumaran’s ‘Aadujeevitam’, the top opener of 2024.

Comparison with Other Films

In comparison to recently released Hindi films ‘Shrikant’ and ‘Bhaiyaji’, ‘Turbo’ has outperformed them in daily earnings. This success highlights the strong box office presence of Mammootty’s latest film.

Budget and Recovery

With a production budget of Rs 60 crore, ‘Turbo’ needs to maintain strong box office performance to recover its costs. Positive reviews and Mammootty’s star power suggest that the film is likely to achieve this goal soon.

The Story of ‘Turbo’

‘Turbo’ follows the story of Turbo Jose, a jeep driver who relocates to Chennai due to unforeseen circumstances. The film depicts the various challenges he faces in Chennai. The star cast includes Mammootty in the lead role, with Raj B Shetty, Sunil, and Anjana Jayaprakash making their Mollywood debuts.
