Neru, the courtroom drama which hit the theatres on December 21, 2023, has emerged as the surprise box office hit of the season. The Mohanlal-starrer, which is helmed by Jeethu Joseph, was released without a massive pre-release hype. However, the excellent reviews and the word-of-mouth publicity have clearly helped the project, which even succeeded in dethroning biggies like Shah Rukh Khan’s Dunki and Prabhas’ Salaar at the Kerala box office.
As Neru completed its first week at the worldwide box office, the Mohanlal-starrer, which was made with a moderate budget, has emerged as a blockbuster. The Jeethu Joseph directorial marked the superstar’s comeback to the success track after a long period of duds.
Neru crosses Rs 25 crore-mark at the box office
As per the latest reports from the trade experts, Neru has made a total gross collection of over Rs 25 crore at the worldwide box office, within the first week of its release. The initial reports suggest that the Mohanlal-starrer has collected over Rs 17 crore from the Kerala box office alone within the first 7 days of its release. The film has been performing exceedingly well at the Rest of India and Overseas box office as well, collecting over Rs 7 crore in total.
Will Neru enter the Rs 50-crore club in another week?
Mohanlal’s courtroom drama has all the chances of entering the Rs 50-crore club of Malayalam cinema.
