(Picture Courtesy:Facebook) Dhyan Sreenivasan is finally celebrating a box office success this year with the murder mystery 'Detective Ujjwalan'. As per the Sacnilk reports, the film has collected Rs 5.56 crore worldwide in ten days, with Rs 4.96 crore from India net collections. Dhyan Sreenivasan scores his first hit of 2025 While the movie opened modestly, it has shown a steady run across weekdays and weekends, steadily building its audience and word-of-mouth. The film's growing collections signal that audiences are enjoying this crime comedy blend, marking a positive turning point for Dhyan's 2025 releases. A lighthearted detective faces a darker challenge 'Detective Ujjwalan' revolves around Ujjwalan, a quirky librarian who moonlights as the village detective, helping solve small-time problems like lost gold or missing goats. Plachikavu village is so peaceful that even the police lean on Ujjwalan's skills to handle petty crime. But the tone shifts when a series of brutal murders shock the quiet village, leaving everyone to wonder whether their local amateur sleuth can rise to the challenge of catching a dangerous criminal. As tension builds, Ujjwalan must stretch beyond his usual comic charm to crack a case that threatens the entire village's safety. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025 Top Trending local enterprise accounting software [Click Here] Esseps Learn More Undo Detective Ujjwalan - Official Trailer ETimes verdict ETimes gave the movie a rating of 2.5 stars out of 5 and our review read, 'There are some rules that a detective story needs to make it work and for the effect to stay with us. Some red herrings that will confuse the audience so that we are emotionally and intellectually caught up in the story, a detective who uses logic that will baffle us with its brilliance and a final revelation of the culprit that will shock us. Detective Ujjwalan does not use any of these devices in a forceful enough manner. The period settings are interesting and the village characters are loveable enough, though some of the superb comic talents from social media, Ameen, Nihal Nizam, Nibraz and Shahubas, are barely utilised. The film seems to go in the direction of most Dhyan films; a bit of an anti-climax.' What's next? With Rs 57 lakhs collected on its tenth day, 'Detective Ujjwalan' continues to draw crowds despite facing competition from new releases. Given the current momentum, the movie is likely to continue adding to its box office tally in the coming weeks.

‘Detective Ujjwalan' box office collections day 7: Dhyan Sreenivasan's comic thriller grosses Rs 4.02 crores worldwide
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Dhyan Sreenivasan has scored his first box office success of the year with 'Detective Ujjwalan', a lighthearted crime thriller that has quietly charmed audiences. According to the Sacnilk website reports, the film has collected Rs 4.02 crores worldwide at the end of its first week, with Rs 3.59 crores coming from the India net collections. Modest day-wise growth 'Detective Ujjwalan' opened with Rs 69 lakhs on its first day and maintained steady footing across the week. Day two brought in Rs 78 lakhs, followed by a slight jump to Rs 85 lakhs on day three, showing a weekend uplift. However, weekday figures were more modest, with Rs 30 lakhs on day four, Rs 50 lakhs on day five, Rs 25 lakhs on day six, and Rs 22 lakhs on day seven. Despite the smaller weekday numbers, the film's ability to cross Rs 4 crores worldwide is considered a decent achievement for a niche comedy-thriller with a limited marketing push. Detective Ujjwalan - Official Trailer A small-town detective's big screen appeal The story follows Ujjwalan, a quirky librarian and part-time village detective in the sleepy town of Plachikavu, where even the police rely on him to solve small local mysteries — from missing goats to misplaced jewelry. Dhyan Sreenivasan's portrayal mixes comic charm with an underdog's earnestness, making him an audience favorite. The film's shift into darker territory — as Ujjwalan confronts a serial killer terrorizing the village — adds a layer of tension that has intrigued viewers and kept them returning to theatres. Looking Ahead With no official verdict declared yet, 'Detective Ujjwalan' will need to hold steady in its second weekend to secure a clear 'hit' tag. If positive word of mouth continues, this sleeper hit could extend its run, but with several competitions ahead, it will be hard for the film to hold well in theatres.
