Nivin Pauly and Mamitha Baiju’s Bethlehem Kudumba Unit continues its impressive box-office run as it enters Day 18 on Monday. The latest confirmed figures are from Day 17 (third Sunday), when the film collected an estimated ₹8.10 crore net in India from 1,855 shows at around 77-81% overall occupancy.
That Sunday number marked a clear jump from the previous two days. Day 15 (third Friday) brought in roughly ₹6.15 crore net across 1,756 shows, while Day 16 (Saturday) delivered about ₹7 crore net from 1,834 shows. The three-day third weekend added over ₹21 crore net, taking the film’s India net total to ₹123.40 crore and India gross to ₹144.10 crore.
Overseas markets have contributed ₹121 crore so far, pushing the worldwide gross past ₹265 crore. Kerala remains the biggest driver. On Day 17 the state alone generated around ₹6.75 crore gross. Tamil Nadu followed with ₹1.10 crore, Karnataka added ₹65 lakh, and Andhra Pradesh-Telangana contributed ₹75 lakh. The rest of India made up the balance.
Major cities in Kerala, particularly Kochi, Thiruvananthapuram and Kozhikode, continue to report strong evening and night occupancy. The film has already sold more than 5 million tickets on major booking platforms.
Week 1 had closed at ₹52.30 crore net and Week 2 at ₹49.85 crore net, showing solid hold rather than a steep drop. Show counts have stayed healthy instead of being trimmed, a positive sign deep into the third week.
Monday (Day 18) collections are still being tracked. Given the strong Sunday hold and previous Monday patterns, a steady mid week figure is expected. The sustained theatre presence, high ticket sales and consistent state wise contribution underline why Bethlehem Kudumba Unit ranks among the top Malayalam releases of 2026.
