Varavu Opens to Record Day‑1 Collection, Outshining Joju George’s Past Hits

Varavu, the latest Malayalam feature starring Joju George, opened across Kerala theatres on its first day and recorded a box‑office haul that eclipses the actor’s previous career highs. The film collected ₹1.2 crore in the opening weekend, a figure that surpasses the ₹1.0 crore earned by George’s earlier hits Antony and Pani. Industry analysts note that the strong opening reflects both the star’s growing fan base and the film’s promotional push. "We are thrilled with the response," said the distributor, adding that the film is expected to continue its momentum in the coming weeks. The achievement marks a new milestone for Joju George, who has steadily risen from supporting roles to leading man status in Malayalam cinema.
