Bison Kaalamaadan's Box Office Journey: A Surprising 19-Day Run
The Mari Selvaraj-directed film, Bison Kaalamaadan, has been on a rollercoaster ride at the box office, leaving many intrigued by its performance. After a strong start, the movie, starring Dhruv Vikram, Anupama Parameswaran, and Pasupathy Ramasaamy, has seen its collections fluctuate dramatically. But here's where it gets controversial: despite a stellar opening weekend, the film's earnings took a sharp dive in the subsequent weeks. Is this a sign of audience fatigue, or did the movie fail to sustain its initial buzz?
Let’s dive into the numbers. Over its first 18 days, Bison Kaalamaadan raked in an impressive ₹44.57 Cr India net. However, on its 19th day, the collection plummeted to a mere ₹0.04 Cr across all languages. But why such a drastic drop? Could it be the competition from other releases, or did word-of-mouth reviews play a role? And this is the part most people miss: the film’s Tamil occupancy on November 4, 2025, stood at 11.34%, with morning shows performing slightly better than the rest of the day. Interestingly, regions like Dindigul and Kochi saw higher occupancy rates, while Vellore and the National Capital Region (NCR) recorded a disappointing 0%.
