The Malayalam film Irumudi has earned $11 million less overseas than the recent hit Bethlehem, according to box‑office data.
The latest overseas earnings report shows that the Malayalam movie Irumudi has fallen $11 million short of the overseas collection recorded by the recent hit Bethlehem. The figures, compiled from multiple territories, highlight a noticeable gap between the two films' international performance.
Bethlehem’s strong overseas run has set a benchmark for regional films, while Irumudi’s numbers suggest a more modest reception abroad. Analysts attribute the difference to varying market appeal and distribution reach in key overseas markets.
Producers of Irumudi are likely to reassess their overseas strategy as the shortfall may impact overall profitability. The film’s domestic performance remains robust, but the $11 million gap underscores the challenges regional cinema faces in capturing global audiences.
