Like many new Malayalam releases, ARM entered theatres without a pre-established streaming deal. The selective approach of streaming platforms towards Malayalam films, however, is proving beneficial. The trend has encouraged more Malayalam productions to prioritize extended theatrical runs, gradually reducing the industry’s dependency on OTT platforms for revenue recovery. This shift is influencing even Tamil and Telugu industries, where early OTT releases—often within four weeks—may soon see delays to boost box office earnings.
Tovino Thomas expressed his gratitude for the film’s sustained popularity. “Ajayante Randam Moshanam released on Onam, crossed 50 days on Diwali, and is still running strong in over 150 theatres across Kerala! This journey has been nothing short of legendary, and we owe it all to YOU — our incredible audience. From day one, you’ve been with us every step of the way, and we couldn’t have done it without you. If you haven’t yet, there’s still time to experience the magic of A.R.M in 3D — join us on this epic adventure in theatres! #ARM3D Here’s to more milestones, memories, and magical moments!”
✨50 Days of Glory and Counting!✨
