Movie Review: Thank You For Coming - 3.5/5

# Chatha Pacha Roars into Theatres: Rs 5+ Crores in Just 2 Days! Imagine stepping into a ring where Malayalam cinema meets WWE-style wrestling frenzy – that's **Chatha Pacha**, the action-packed drama that's got fans cheering louder than a championship slam![1] Starring **Roshan Mathew** and **Arjun Ashokan**, this Adwaith Nayar directorial hit screens on January 22, 2026, and wasted no time dominating the box office. By Day 2, it crossed **Rs 5 crores net in India**, with totals reaching **Rs 5.5 crores** according to Sacnilk reports. Day 1 raked in around **Rs 3.4 crores** (though estimates vary from Rs 3.3-4.05 crores across sources), followed by **Rs 2.1 crores** on Day 2 – a slight dip but still a powerhouse start, especially in Kerala where it leads 2026 openers.[1][2][3][4][5][8]

What's fueling this buzz? The film's unique **costume wrestling theme** is a nod to WWE legends, pulling in young audiences and die-hard fans with its energetic action sequences set in Kochi. Cameos from **Mammootty** add star power, alongside a fresh cast including Carmen S. Mathew and Vishak Nair. Despite **mixed reviews** – some praise the fun wrestling bits, others note script gaps – word-of-mouth and night shows (up to 64% occupancy) are keeping seats filled.[1][3][4] Worldwide, it's grossed around **Rs 6.5-7.73 crores** already, with Kerala dominating but contributions from Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Telugu states. Facing competition from Nivin Pauly's *Baby Girl*, **Chatha Pacha** edges ahead on scale and novelty, eyeing a blockbuster extended weekend boosted by Republic Day holidays.[2][3][7] Have you caught **Chatha Pacha** yet?
