Bougainvillea Box Office Day 3: This Fahadh Faasil Starrer Performs Better Than Vettaiyan In Kerala

Bougainvillea Box Office: The latest Malayalam film Bougainvillea starring Kunchacko Boban and Jyothirmayi in leading roles and Fahadh Faasil in an extended cameo has shown strong legs since its release on October 17. In three days, it managed to collect ₹8.68 crore in India, with most of its collections coming from Kerala . Interestingly, another film featuring Fahadh is running in cinema halls - Vettaiyan. Bougainvillea, however, is performing better in the state than the Rajinikanth-fronted pan-India movie.

Bougainvillea box office breakdown

According to a report in Sacnilk, Bougainvillea has collected ₹8.68 crore in three days in India and ₹5.5 crore overseas. The film's worldwide collection stands at ₹12 crore, with the first weekend collection looking good for the film. Amal Neerad's thriller opened to mixed reviews, with many divided over their response to the crime thriller. However, some lauded Bougainvillea as a departure from Amad's stylish action films for a more subtle tonality and storytelling. Seems like there are takers for this movie.

Interestingly, Vettaiyan did less business in Kerala than Bougainvillea on the second weekend despite Fahadh playing a pivotal role in the TJ Gnanvel film, starring Rajinikanth.

What is Bougainvillea about?

Bougainvillea revolves around a couple, Royce (Kunchacko Boban) and Reethu (Jyothirmayi), who meet with a nasty accident. The after-effect of the accident: Reethu suffers from Anterograde and Retrograde amnesia. Enter David Koshy (Fahadh Faasil) who visits Reethu's home and asks her about the whereabouts of a missing girl. His interrogation hits a roadblock because of Reethu's memory. What follows next forms the crux of the story.

Sharaf U Dheen, Veena Nandakumar and Srinda play supporting roles in the movie. Fahadh plays a small but pivotal part in the movie. The Aavesham actor was also part of director Amal Neerad's Varathan (2018), which was a commercial success.
