Unni Mukundan's blockbuster Marco continued its winning streak, with its Hindi and Telugu versions outperforming the original Malayalam version on New Year's Day. The Hindi version raked in an impressive ₹1.4 crore, while the Telugu version, released on the same day, collected over ₹1.3 crore.
In contrast, the Malayalam version garnered around ₹1 crore in Kerala on New Year's Day. This surge in collections for the dubbed versions is a testament to Marco's pan-India appeal. However, concerns persist about the film's excessive violence and gore, potentially deterring family audiences.
Despite this, Marco has achieved remarkable success, crossing ₹75 crore worldwide. With its Tamil version releasing soon, this weekend promises to be crucial for the film, as all language versions contribute to its box office tally. As Marco inches closer to the ₹100 crore club, its makers and fans eagerly anticipate its entry into this elite group.
Marco's New Year's Day performance underscores its broad appeal, transcending regional boundaries. While its graphic content may limit its audience, the film's engaging narrative and Unni Mukundan's performance have resonated with viewers.
