'Vilayath Buddha' BO: Film hits Rs 3.50 cr mark

Prithviraj Sukumaran's 'Vilayath Buddha' experienced a slow start at the box office, collecting an estimated Rs 3.50 crore net over its opening weekend. Despite strong performances from the cast, particularly Shammi Thilakan, and gripping cinematography, the film's familiar themes of male ego and massy elements reportedly held back its impact, leading to underwhelming occupancy rates.
