The film collected a net \u20b99.55 crore in India from 2,481 shows, taking its total India net collection to \u20b961.85 crore. Its India gross collection has now reached \u20b972.15 crore.<\/p>\n<p>The film also performed well internationally, earning \u20b98 crore on its eighth day. This has pushed its total overseas gross collection to \u20b975.50 crore. As a result, the film&#8217;s worldwide gross has reached \u20b9147.65 crore in just eight days, as per figures recorded by Sacnilk.<\/p>\n<p>The Day 8 India net collection of \u20b99.55 crore is particularly significant. It represents a 9.1% increase over the previous day&#8217;s \u20b98.75 crore and marks the film&#8217;s highest single-day collection so far. Achieving its biggest day on the first day of the second week is a strong sign of continued audience interest.<\/p>\n<p>With its worldwide gross now at \u20b9147.65 crore, &#8220;Bethlehem Kudumba Unit&#8221; has already surpassed Nivin Pauly&#8217;s earlier career benchmarks, including &#8220;Premam&#8221; and &#8220;Sarvam Maya&#8221;. The romantic comedy, directed by Girish A.D., is also reportedly among the fastest Malayalam films to approach the \u20b9150 crore milestone, putting it closer to the biggest box-office successes in Malayalam cinema.<\/p>\n<p>However, the film still has a considerable distance to cover to enter the current top five highest-grossing Malayalam films. &#8220;Lokah: Chapter 1 &#8211; Chandra&#8221; leads the list with \u20b9303.86 crore, followed by &#8220;L2: Empuraan&#8221; at \u20b9268.05 crore, &#8220;Manjummel Boys&#8221; at \u20b9241.03 crore, &#8220;Thudarum&#8221; at \u20b9235.38 crore and &#8220;Vaazha II: Biopic of a Billion Bros&#8221; at \u20b9235.26 crore.<\/p>\n<p>The film&#8217;s performance is even more remarkable when compared to the numbers recorded by Nivin Pauly&#8217;s previous hits. &#8220;Kayamkulam Kochunni&#8221; earned around \u20b970 crore worldwide, while &#8220;Premam&#8221; collected roughly \u20b973\u201375 crore. &#8220;Bangalore Days&#8221; crossed \u20b948 crore. &#8220;Sarvam Maya&#8221; reportedly finished at around \u20b9150\u2013153 crore.<\/p>\n<p>At \u20b9147.65 crore in only eight days, &#8220;Bethlehem Kudumba Unit&#8221; is already close to surpassing &#8220;Sarvam Maya&#8221;. If its strong momentum continues, the film could become the biggest success of Nivin Pauly&#8217;s career.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nivin Pauly-Mamitha Baiju&#8217;s Malayalam rom-com &#8220;Bethlehem Kudumba Unit&#8221; continued its impressive box-office run on Day 8, recording strong&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":274835,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[115476,153,155,113790,154,115464,115469,18678,3747,115477,115468,3061,115465,114011,115475,115479,115471,115470,113529,114688,115472,115478,993,112107,115466,115404,114442,39195,115473,115474,115467],"class_list":["post-274834","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-bethlehem","tag-bangalore-days","tag-bethlehem","tag-bethlehem-headlines","tag-bethlehem-kudumba-unit-box-office","tag-bethlehem-news","tag-box-office-success","tag-career-benchmark","tag-entertainment-news","tag-film-industry","tag-film-milestones","tag-film-performance","tag-girish-ad","tag-india-collection","tag-indian-cinema","tag-kayamkulam-kochunni","tag-kerala-cinema","tag-l2-empuraan","tag-lokah-chapter-1","tag-malayalam-rom-com","tag-mamitha-baiju-film","tag-manjummel-boys","tag-movie-updates","tag-new-releases","tag-nivin-pauly-movie","tag-overseas-collection","tag-premam","tag-regional-cinema","tag-sarvam-maya","tag-thudarum","tag-vaazha-ii","tag-worldwide-gross"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/274834","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=274834"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/274834\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/274835"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=274834"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=274834"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=274834"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
