"I'm Game" Box Office Day 8: Dulquer Salmaan's Film Sees 52% Drop, Earns 50 Lakh
Dulquer Salmaan's Malayalam film "I'm Game," released on September 3, has struggled at the box office, earning just 50 lakh on its eighth day—a 52% drop from the previous day. The film's total India gross stands at 27.20 crore, below expectations despite a strong opening weekend. Directed by Nahas Hidhayath, the fantasy action thriller follows a gambler's risky pursuits. It has outperformed Dulquer's previous release but trails behind other Malayalam hits like "Bethlehem Kudumba Unit."
