Meanwhile, Aadujeevitham’s first Monday collection is significantly higher than other blockbuster Malayalam movies of 2024 such as Manjummel Boys, which currently stands as the highest-grossing Malayalam film of all time, Premalu, Bramayugam and Abraham Ozler, which earned Rs 2.6 crore, Rs 1.65 crore, Rs 1.65 crore, and Rs 1.35 crore, respectively.

Despite its genre and nature, sans any mass appeal or fan service moments, Aadujeevitham’s continued success provides a significant boost to the industry and indicates a shift in audience perception and viewing habits. On Sunday, the survival drama had also entered the Rs 50 crore global gross club, making it the fastest Malayalam film to achieve this milestone.

In his review of the movie, The Indian Express’ Anandu Suresh noted, “Prithviraj Sukumaran delivers one of his career-best performances, elevating the Blessy film above its shortcomings. Despite a somewhat shaky start, he admirably rises to the challenge, portraying Najeeb with authenticity.”
