Pulimurugan becomes the highest grossing Malayalam movie at Ernakulam Multiplexes

In just 27 days, Pulimurugan had created another all-time record in Kerala and this time it is at Ernakulam multiplexes.

Pulimurugan had grossed 2.95 cr+ from just 27 days from there and broken the record set by Jacobinte Swargarajyam which grossed 2.94 crore from there this year.

Pulimurugan will become the first Malayalam movie to gross 3 crore from Ernakulam multiplexes as well the next day.

Hollywood movie Jungle Book is the highest grosser ever in Ernakulam multiplexes as it had grossed 3.72 crore from there in its lifetime run. It had ran close to 100 days there. Pulimurugan is now at the second position in all time highest grossers from there.

Pulimurugan’s achievement is sensational when we consider the fact that it is having 4 regular shows in Kavitha Theater Ernakulam which has a seating capacity of 1000+. It also having regular shows in Tripunithura Central, Edappally Vanitha etc.

Despite having regular and houseful shows in all these screens which are located in and around the Ernakulam city, Pulimurugan had become the record breaker in just 4 week time. It is just incredible to say the least.

Jungle Book got 3.72 cr from there because it only ran at Ernakulam Savitha for 3 weeks and from then on, it played only at Multiplexes there.
