King of Kotha is expected to beat the two highest-opening films in Malayalam – KGF Chapter 2 (Rs 7.25 crore) and Odiyan (Rs 7.10 crore). As per trade sources, King of Kotha should be looking at an 8-crore opening day, a first in Malayalam cinema history. The all-India opening could be over Rs 10 crore, given Dulquer’s popularity in the Telugu states. The actor starred in Telugu blockbuster Sita Ramam recently.
Globally, the biggest opening day for a Malayalam film is the Rs 19.50 crore earned by Mohanlal’s National Award-winning period piece Marakkar : Lion of The Arabian Sea. Dulquer’s Kurup is at the second place with a Rs 18.50 crore opening day. King of Kotha is expected to surpass both of them. Sacnilk reports that the film is expected to gross over $1 million (Rs 8 crore) in the overseas market on its first day and register a worldwide opening gross of over Rs 20 crore.
King of Kotha stars an ensemble cast including Aishwarya Lekshmi, Dancing Rose Shabeer, Prasanna, Nyla Usha, Chemban Vinod, Gokul Suresh, Shammi Thilakn, Shanthi Krishna, Vada Chennai Saran, and Anikha Surendran. King of Kotha released on August 24, 2023.
