Pradhama Drishtya Kuttakkar Crosses 24 Crore Mark, Becomes 2026’s Top Female-Led Mollywood Film

Parvathy Thiruvothu’s Pradhama Drishtya Kuttakkar crosses 24 crore net, becomes 2026’s top female-led Mollywood film — and still has room to grow.

Pradhama Drishtya Kuttakkar hits 24.73 crore net in India — and it’s not even close to done. The Malayalam thriller, starring Parvathy Thiruvothu as a constable thrust into chaos after a botched arrest, has quietly become the highest-grossing female-led film in Mollywood this year. It surpassed Thudakkam’s lifetime India total of 24.26 crore on Day 22, a milestone that feels less like a surprise and more like a reckoning.

The film earned 43 lakh net on its fourth Friday, proving word-of-mouth still holds weight in an age of algorithmic noise. Even with limited screens outside Kerala, it’s holding strong. That’s not just endurance, it’s momentum. Now, it needs under a crore to overtake Dulquer Salmaan’s I’m Game, which could happen by the end of the fourth weekend.

No grand marketing blitz. No pan-India rollout. Just a story that stuck. And a lead performance that made people stay past the credits.

The film is directed by Shahad, who last brought us Prakashan Parakkatte and Anuragam. Scripted by P.S. Subramanian and Vijesh Thottingal. Bankrolled by Arjun Selva under 11 Icons Film Productions. If this were Bollywood, they’d be calling it a ‘surprise hit’.

In Mollywood, it’s just business. But the numbers don’t lie: Aleena’s journey isn’t ending anytime soon. The next question? How many more films will follow her path.

Not because they’re loud, but because they’re real.
