Tovino Thomas' latest drama thriller 'Narivetta' is showing solid hold at the box office, despite mixed critical reviews.
Directed by Anuraj Manohary 'Narivetta' has collected a total of Rs 8.04 crore India net across all languages, according to Sacnilk's early estimates.
Day 5 collections and occupancy
On Tuesday, the fifth day of its release, 'Narivetta' earned Rs 1.09 crore, maintaining a steady pace after Monday's Rs 1.2 crore. While the numbers saw a dip from the weekend's high — Day 1 (Friday) brought in Rs 1.65 crore, Day 2 (Saturday) Rs 1.85 crore, and Day 3 (Sunday) Rs 2.25 crore — the film has managed to avoid a sharp fall, with only a 46% drop on Monday. The Malayalam occupancy on Day 5 stood at an average 25.37%, with night shows showing the strongest turnout at 35.29%.

Strongest regions: Kochi leads
Among the key regions, Kochi stood out with an impressive 36% overall occupancy, reaching a peak of 59% in night shows across 113 screenings. Trivandrum followed with 21.75% average occupancy, peaking at 33% in the night shows over 97 screenings. Other metropolitan hubs like Bengaluru (15.75%) and Chennai (22%) showed more modest figures but still contributed to the overall steady earnings.
Our verdict
ETimes gave the movie a rating of 3.5 stars out of 5 and our review reads, 'Abin Joseph's script does not have the emotional and cinematic power of Nayattu, which is also about power play and creating scapegoats to take the fall, within the force and adminstration, and Anurag, too, hasn't effectively used the different characters.

Varghese gets his epiphany about the tribal issue too late into the story. Then, he goes through an overly dramatic transformation, which makes the storytelling feel fickle.
And maybe the focus was too much building Varghese's character in the early part of the film, that the tribal issue felt a bit watered down. The main character would have been more effective as a voice of the agitation, rather than an outsider.'
'Narivetta' brings together a talented cast, with Tovino Thomas leading the charge alongside Suraj Venjaramoodu, Cheran, and Arya Salim.
