Kalamkaval has been praised widely for:
Its gripping crime-mystery plot
Mammootty’s powerful performance
Strong supporting cast
Sharp direction and atmospheric cinematography
Critical acclaim and positive audience reactions have amplified footfall, especially across Kerala’s key cinema hubs.
Theatre Occupancy: Kerala Leads the Charge
Despite being released only in Malayalam, the film is attracting audiences beyond its home state. Shows are running across metros such as Bengaluru, Chennai, Mumbai, and Delhi-NCR, though Kerala remains the biggest contributor.
Day 5 Occupancy (Malayalam): 32.14% overall, with evening and night shows recording the highest turnout.
Key City Occupancies on Day 5:

The strong regional support combined with steady nationwide interest continues to push Kalamkaval toward a promising second weekend.
Path Ahead
The movie has already started to do well at the box office and the word of mouth has also been positive, thus, Kalamkaval is in a good position to retain its revenue during the second week. If the present situation goes on as it is, the Mammootty-starrer might end up being one of the highest-grossing Malayalam thrillers in 2023.
