# Mohanlal's **Vrusshabha** Box Office Nightmare: Day 6 Brings Just Rs 6 Lakhs – Is This His Biggest Flop Ever? Imagine the disappointment of a **70 crore** blockbuster starring Malayalam superstar **Mohanlal** limping to a mere **Rs 6 lakhs** on Day 6 – that's the harsh reality hitting theaters right now.[1][2] Released on Christmas Day, December 25, 2025, *Vrusshabha* – a fantasy action drama directed by Nanda Kishore – promised epic thrills with Mohanlal in the lead, alongside stars like Samarjit Lankesh and Ragini Dwivedi. But the numbers tell a different story. After a dismal opening of around **Rs 60 lakhs** domestically on Day 1, collections plunged further: **Rs 22 lakhs** on Day 2, **Rs 24 lakhs** on Day 3 (with just 9.05% occupancy in Malayalam markets), and no signs of recovery by Day 6, where it minted only **Rs 6 lakhs** as per Times of India reports.[1][2][3] The film's total India nett now hovers around **Rs 1.45-1.75 crores** after five days, with BookMyShow sales at a shocking **14K tickets** – lower than Mohanlal's previous low of *Hridayapoorvam* (1.47 million).[3][4][5] This is a stark contrast to Mohanlal's 2025 hits like *L2: Empuraan* (**Rs 265.5 crore**), *Thudarum* (**Rs 234.5 crore**), and even *Hridayapoorvam* (**Rs 76.25 crore**). Made on a whopping **Rs 70 crore** budget, *Vrusshabha* has grossed just **1/56th** of its cost globally so far (around **Rs 1.25-1.75 crores**), facing over **90% losses** and outflopping even Mohanlal's directorial *Barroz 3D* (**Rs 15.1 crore**).[1][2][5] Critics haven't helped: *The Indian Express* called it "one of the biggest messes" in his career (1/5 stars), slamming weak writing and incoherent narrative, while *Cinema Express* dubbed it an "unimaginative reincarnation tale."[6] Overseas earnings are equally bleak at **Rs 20 lakhs**, and with mixed-to-negative reviews from audiences, theaters are already eyeing replacements. Will word-of-mouth spark a miracle, or is this Mohanlal's career-worst disaster?[1][6]
