Nivin Pauly and Mamitha Baiju’s Bethlehem Kudumba Unit has achieved a remarkable milestone at the box office. The Girish A.D.-directed romantic comedy has reportedly crossed the ₹300 crore mark worldwide in just 24 days, turning it into the latest blockbuster success story from Malayalam cinema.
The film’s impressive run has also taken it past Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra, making Bethlehem Kudumba Unit the new highest-grossing Malayalam film worldwide, according to the latest reported figures.
Nivin Pauly and Mamitha Baiju's Film Continues Its Dream Run
Released with Nivin Pauly and Mamitha Baiju in the lead, Bethlehem Kudumba Unit has managed to maintain strong audience interest even after completing more than three weeks in theatres.
The film had already established itself as a major success in Kerala before reaching the ₹300 crore worldwide milestone. Its sustained performance has been particularly notable because it continued to attract audiences despite new releases entering theatres.
In Kerala alone, the movie had crossed the ₹130 crore gross mark by its 22nd day and was estimated to reach around ₹134 crore after its fourth Saturday.
From Industry Hit to All-Time Record
The film's rise has been remarkably quick. Earlier in its run, Bethlehem Kudumba Unit surpassed Vaazha 2 to become the biggest grosser in Kerala, establishing itself as an industry hit.
It had also overtaken Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra at the Kerala box office during its third week. By Day 19, the film had reached a reported ₹123.50 crore gross in Kerala.
That momentum has now translated into a much bigger worldwide achievement.
Malayalam Cinema Gets Another ₹300 Crore Blockbuster
The ₹300 crore milestone is significant for Malayalam cinema, which has seen a number of films deliver extraordinary theatrical performances in recent years. Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra had previously established itself as a major benchmark for the industry.
Bethlehem Kudumba Unit has now gone one step further, making its success another indication of the growing reach of Malayalam films beyond Kerala.
The film's box office journey is still continuing, so its final worldwide total could rise further in the coming days. With the ₹300 crore mark already behind it, the focus will now be on how high the Nivin Pauly and Mamitha Baiju starrer can finish.
