The ninth‑day earnings of Prithviraj Sukumaran’s film ‘Khalifa: The Ruler’ have slowed, indicating a loss of momentum, according to NDTV Profit.
NDTV Profit reported that the box‑office collection of Prithviraj Sukumaran’s latest release, "Khalifa: The Ruler," showed a noticeable slowdown on its ninth day of release. The film, which opened to strong numbers, appears to have lost the early‑stage momentum that many regional blockbusters enjoy.
Industry analysts note that the movie’s initial surge was driven by star power and aggressive marketing, but the day‑nine figures suggest a tapering of audience interest. While exact revenue numbers were not disclosed, the trend points to a flattening of daily growth.
The dip may affect the film’s overall profitability and could influence distributors’ decisions on screen allocation in the coming weeks. Observers will watch the next few days closely to see whether the slowdown is temporary or signals a longer‑term decline in the film’s performance.
