Chatha Pacha Box Office Collection Day 1
Chatha Pacha: The Ring of Rowdies has opened with an estimated day 1 India net collection in the range of about ₹3.3–3.8 crore, making it a decent to strong start for a Malayalam action‑comedy on a Thursday.
As per Sacnilk’s live tracking for 22 January 2026, the film ran with around 32–33% Malayalam occupancy through the day, with shows in Kerala slowly picking up towards the evening as walk‑in crowds joined the advance‑booking audience.
The overall mood in theatres has been described as lively rather than record‑breaking: not a festival‑like frenzy, but that comfortable buzz where the front rows are filled with college kids and local fans who just want some fights, banter, and a bit of swagger on screen.
Trade chatter points out that for a film opening on a working‑day Thursday with a mid‑range budget, crossing the ₹3 crore mark on day 1 already puts it in the “safe and promising” zone, especially if word of mouth holds through the first weekend.
Chatha Pacha Box Office Collection Daywise
For now, only the opening day numbers are clearly visible, and Sacnilk’s day‑wise chart is essentially just Day 1, sitting around the ₹3.3–3.8 crore India net mark, with Kerala as the core driver.
The site’s live box office tracking shows that the film’s first Thursday is carrying almost the entire reported total so far, and updated day‑wise figures for Day 2 and beyond will be added as collections firm up over the weekend.
Some early trade notes mention that Chatha Pacha is playing across a solid number of shows, with more than 2 lakh footfalls reported on the first day itself, which is healthy for a regional action‑comedy.
Evening and night shows in key centres like Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram have seen the best crowd movement, thanks to office‑after plans and group bookings, which usually helps keep the day‑wise trend stable instead of front‑loading everything into morning shows.
About Chatha Pacha
Chatha Pacha: The Ring of Rowdies is a Malayalam wrestling‑flavoured action‑comedy that released in cinemas worldwide on Thursday, 22 January 2026, led by Arjun Ashokan, Roshan Mathew and Vishak Nair.
Directed by Adhvaith Nayar, the film dives into the world of a misfit wrestling gang from Fort Kochi and mixes local humour, bravado, and rivalry with WWE‑style showmanship, making it feel like a mash‑up of street‑corner stories and ring drama.
The movie has been promoted as Malayalam cinema’s first proper WWE‑type entertainer, backed by Reel World Entertainment, and features a score by the celebrated composer trio Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy, who are making their Malayalam debut here.
Early audience talk highlights the colourful Fort Kochi backdrop, the rowdy camaraderie between the lead characters, and the slightly over‑the‑top wrestling set‑pieces as the big crowd‑pleasers that could help Chatha Pacha grow beyond just its opening day numbers.
