Kunchacko Boban Film Struggles, Set For A Lifetime Below 5 Crore

Unmadham Box Office Collection Day 10: Kunchacko Boban Film Unlikely To Cross 5 crore (Photo Credit: Instagram) Kunchacko Boban’s latest release, Unmadham, has almost been wiped out of the audience’s memory. At least, the film’s box office numbers after its second weekend indicate the same. The psychological thriller saw no growth in its second weekend, as it faced competition from Vismaya Mohanlal’s debut film, Thudakkam. As a result, the film is likely to wrap up its lifetime under 5 crore. How Much Did Unmadham Earn In 10 Days? The Malayalam film starring Kunchacko Boban had a decent pre-release hype. Moreover, the film’s opening-day collection was also decent. However, the film did not gain momentum after opening day, receiving mixed reviews. After collecting a net of 0.7 crore on its opening day, the film saw only slight growth over the first weekend. Meanwhile, the film’s per-day collections on its second 3-day weekend were below 15 lakh. As of now, the net total of the film after 10 days is 3.72 crore at the domestic box office. …

Kunchacko Boban reopens a cursed cold case in Kiran Das’ Unmadham, watch trailer | Malayalam News

3 min readHyderabadJul 19, 2026 12:05 PM IST The official trailer of Unmadham, starring  and Lijomol Jose, was released on Saturday. Directed by Kiran Das, Unmadham follows Shelly, a police constable played by Kunchacko Boban, whose personal life is already under strain. His wife, played by Lijomol Jose in her first on-screen pairing with Boban, wants them to move out of their government police housing quarters. To secure a transfer, Shelly takes on a cold case file that has sat untouched for years, one that other officers have avoided because it is believed to carry a curse. What begins as a routine investigation quickly unravels into something far more unsettling, as the case pulls Shelly deeper into a web of superstition, paranoia and psychological unravelling. The trailer positions Unmadham as a slow-burn psychological thriller rather than a jump-scare horror. The footage is atmospheric and performance-driven, with Kunchako Boban’s Shelly visibly deteriorating as the investigation progresses. There are hints of the supernatural, but the trailer keeps it ambiguous, leaving open the question of whether the curse …

Oru Durooha Saahacharyathil review: Too much experimentation ruins this film, held together only by Kunchacko Boban, Dileesh Pothan | Movie-review News

Oru Durooha Saahacharyathil review: Too much experimentation ruins this film, held together only by Kunchacko Boban, Dileesh Pothan | Movie-review News

Oru Durooha Saahacharyathil movie review: When the movie opens, one is bound to get the feeling that the Ratheesh Balakrishnan Poduval directorial might follow the narrative style of movies such as director Khalid Rahman’s Mammootty-led Unda (2019) or Amit V Masurkar’s Rajkummar Rao-starrer Newton (2017). In the village of Thirunelli, located near the forests in Wayanad, a team of armed personnel, led by Armiyas (Chidambaram), has surrounded a resort after receiving intel that a group of Maoists has entered the premises. Along with tension, the writer-director also slips in comedy, setting a unique mood. However, once the opening sequence is over, it doesn’t take Oru Durooha Saahacharyathil (Under Mysterious Circumstances) much time to make it clear that it’s nothing like Unda or Newton. In fact, it treads a path marked by character-driven storytelling that few in Malayalam may have taken. However, the question that remains is whether it has succeeded.

Other industries envy Malayalam cinema for its content, says Kunchacko Boban on why he hasn’t worked in other languages

Other industries envy Malayalam cinema for its content, says Kunchacko Boban on why he hasn’t worked in other languages

With his latest flick, Officer on Duty, turning profitable in just three days, Kunchacko Boban star is basking in its success and feels this is a turning point in his career. Though he has acted in over 100 films, Malayalam actor Kunchacko Boban, aka Chackochan, is very honest about the fact that when he looks back at his roles, he often finds that there’s something he could have done better. But perhaps CI Harishankar in Officer on Duty (OOD) is an exception, given the accolades he has been receiving.

Officer on Duty: Cruel and convoluted, Kunchacko Boban’s woman-hating washout could give Bollywood a run for its money | Malayalam News

Officer on Duty: Cruel and convoluted, Kunchacko Boban’s woman-hating washout could give Bollywood a run for its money | Malayalam News

Movies like Officer on Duty make it difficult for you to give Indian filmmakers the benefit of the doubt. How could the widely celebrated writer Shahi Kabir, who broke out with the excellent Malayalam-language procedural Nayattu some years ago, produce something as misguided as Officer on Duty? Now out on Netflix after a successful theatrical run, the police thriller lacks everything that made Nayattu such a memorable pandemic-era experience; little attention is paid to the cultural specificities, the writing prioritises plot over characters, and unlike the rather progressive themes that Nayattu niftily wove into its riveting narrative, the politics in Officer on Duty are highly objectionable. For starters, it’s probably the most misogynistic piece of mainstream Indian entertainment since the Kamal Haasan-starrer Vikram from a few years ago. “Why does this movie hate its women so much?” you’ll wonder on several occasions, as young girls are molested, raped, and murdered for the sole reason to give the ‘hero’ something to do. The hero, in case you were wondering, is a man who kicks a pregnant …
