| Day | India Net | Run |
|---|---|---|
| D1 (Fri) | ₹1.82Cr | ₹1.82Cr |
| D2 (Sat) | ₹2.35Cr | ₹4.17Cr |
| D3 (Sun) | ₹2.90Cr | ₹7.07Cr |
| D4 (Mon) | ₹1.15Cr | ₹8.22Cr |
| D5 (Tue) | ₹1.11Cr | ₹9.33Cr |
| D6 (Wed) | ₹0.98Cr | ₹10.31Cr |
| D7 (Thu) | ₹0.96Cr | ₹11.27Cr |
Athiradi had already reached ₹25.32Cr by Day 7 on an ₹80Cr budget. Patriot stood at ₹27.1Cr on Day 7. Balan: The Boy is tracking well behind both benchmarks, and the current daily rate suggests limited repeat viewing.
Key risk: Without a noticeable lift in Week 2, the film is unlikely to exceed ₹18–20Cr India net. The weekday floor remains the decisive variable.
