Prithviraj Sukumaran's 'Vilayath Buddha' Crashes at the Box Office – What Went Wrong?
Just a few weeks ago, fans were eagerly waiting for Prithviraj Sukumaran's much-hyped action drama Vilayath Buddha. With high expectations and a star-studded cast, the film was supposed to be one of the biggest releases of 2025. But now, the numbers tell a different story. After a promising opening, the film's collections have plummeted, and it's now struggling to stay afloat in theaters.
According to the latest box office reports, Vilayath Buddha managed to collect only ₹8 lakh on its 11th day, bringing its total India gross to ₹5.87 crore and worldwide gross to ₹8.47 crore. The overseas market contributed ₹2.60 crore, while the India net stands at ₹5.03 crore. Despite strong performances and technical excellence, the film's narrative treatment seems to have failed to connect with the audience.
The movie, based on Sachy's novel, revolves around an intense ego clash between two men. While fans expected a gripping story and powerful performances, many left the theaters disappointed. The screenplay was criticized for lacking energy, and the lengthy runtime further dampened the experience. Word of mouth has been weak, and theaters are now struggling to attract even a basic crowd.
Prithviraj Sukumaran, who delivered blockbusters in similar genres in the past, is now facing back-to-back disappointments. After the success of L2: Empuraan, Vilayath Buddha has turned out to be one of his worst box office results. The film's budget reportedly ranged between ₹20 crore and ₹40 crore, making its current collections a major setback for the team.
