Basil Joseph’s latest film Maranamass is setting the box office on fire! In just 17 days, the movie has collected an impressive 18.12 crore. This is a huge achievement, especially because the movie was made on a tight budget. Even though it’s not officially a “superhit” yet, it’s only a day or two away from grabbing that title.
Maranamass – 5th Most Profitable Malayalam Film of 2025!
Maranamass, a dark comedy, has become the fifth most profitable Malayalam movie of 2025. This is a big win for Basil Joseph, who is quickly making a name for himself in the Malayalam film industry. Interestingly, two of Basil’s films are now among the top five most profitable Malayalam movies of this year.
The film’s smart storytelling and strong performances have helped it earn steady collections at the box office, even after two weeks of release.
Maranamass Box Office Day 17 Collection
On its 17th day, which was the third Saturday (April 26), Maranamass collected 24 lakh at the box office. This is a slight dip compared to the 25 lakh it earned on Friday. The weekend numbers are expected to stay under 1 crore. However, the film has already crossed important milestones, and the makers are thrilled with its performance.
Budget and Profit Details
Maranamass was made on a controlled budget of just 8 crore. With a collection of 18.12 crore in 17 days, the film has already earned a profit of 10.12 crore. That means it has achieved a return on investment (ROI) of 126.5%!
To be officially declared a “superhit” at the box office, Maranamass needs to collect a total of around 20 crore, meaning it’s just 1.88 crore away from that target.
If the film aims for even bigger success and wants to break into the top 3 most profitable Malayalam films of 2025, it would need to reach a total of 24.4 crore. While that might be a tough challenge, positive word-of-mouth and loyal audiences are still driving footfalls to theatres.
Meanwhile, another film, Alappuzha Gymkhana, is also growing stronger each day and could shuffle the rankings soon!
