The Prithviraj Sukumaran-led heist thriller 'I, Nobody' continues to be a major disappointment at the Indian box office. On its eleventh day of release (Day 11, second Sunday), the film collected an estimated ₹8 lakh net in India. This marks a steep drop from its Day 10 earnings of ₹16 lakh, confirming that the film has failed to find any audience traction even during its second weekend.
With this performance, the film's total India net collection now stands at a dismal ₹8.33 crore across eleven days, which translates to approximately ₹9.83 crore gross. The worldwide gross collection currently stands at around ₹14.75 crore, making it one of Prithviraj Sukumaran's most underwhelming theatrical performances in recent years.
No Respite In Sight
The film had concluded its opening week with ₹7.98 crore net in India, driven by a modest debut that saw collections peak at ₹2.20 crore on its opening day. The film's extended opening weekend of four days had closed at ₹6.41 crore, but the collections have since plummeted steadily. With the second weekend wrapping up, the film has added just ₹35 lakh across Days 9, 10, and 11, highlighting the complete lack of audience interest.
The film features a talented ensemble cast including Prithviraj Sukumaran as Rajeevan, alongside Parvathy Thiruvothu, Hakkim Shahjahan, Ashokan, Vijayaraghavan, and Shankar Ramakrishnan.
The film is directed by Nisam Basheer, who previously collaborated with Prithviraj on the successful 'Rorschach'. The screenplay is written by Sameer Abdul. The technical team includes cinematographer Dinesh Purushothaman, editor Ramees M. B., and music composer Jakes Bejoy. The film is produced by Supriya Menon, Mukesh R. Mehta, and C. V. Sarathi under the banners of Prithviraj Productions and E4 Entertainment.
Confirmed Below Franchise Milestones
With ₹8.33 crore in eleven days, 'I, Nobody' is now confirmed to remain Prithviraj Sukumaran's 7th highest-grossing film in India in the post-COVID era, well below 'Kaapa' (₹11.52 crore). The lifetime collection of the film is now certain to finish below ₹10 crore net in India, making it one of the biggest disappointments in Prithviraj Sukumaran's recent career.
The film was reportedly made on an estimated budget of ₹40 crore and has only recovered about 21% of its budget so far. With collections now reduced to single-digit lakhs, the film is unlikely to add any significant amount in the coming days and will conclude its theatrical run in the same position on the list, unable to bridge the gap to 'Kaapa' or move any higher.
Despite receiving praise from some quarters, including filmmaker Anurag Kashyap who called it a gripping watch, the film failed to translate critical appreciation into box office success. The film's storyline, which follows an ordinary man caught in extraordinary circumstances in a heist-thriller narrative, has failed to resonate with family audiences and the mass market. The lack of strong word-of-mouth and mixed reviews have contributed to its underwhelming theatrical run in India.
