Dulquer Salmaan's I'm Game scores solid box-office start, beats Yash's Toxic Day 1 collections
Dulquer Salmaan is back on his home turf, and Malayalam cinema is here for it. Following his 2023 outing King of Kotha , the actor returned with the action thriller I'm Game , directed by Nahas Hidhayath, which hit theatres on September 3, and the numbers, while not chart-topping, are nothing to scoff at.

Dulquer Salmaan's Malayalam action thriller I'm Game made a solid start at the box office, generating Rs. 5.05 crore on its opening day across 2,714 showings, according to Sacnilk. The film, directed by Nahas Hidhayath, largely benefited from Kerala audiences, who contributed Rs. 4.30 crore alone, while the Telugu dub added Rs. 0.65 crore and the Hindi version contributed Rs.
0.10 crore, resulting in a 44% nationwide occupancy. In a surprising turn of events, I'm Game out-earned Yash's Kannada blockbuster Toxic on day one, as the latter could only manage Rs. 4 crore despite being in its ninth day of release. Originally planned for the Onam festival window, I'm Game's release was delayed to September 3, but it still managed to secure a spot within Dulquer Salmaan's top five opening-day performers of all time, trailing only King of Kotha, Lucky Baskhar, Kurup, and its predecessor.
Despite mixed reviews, the film has managed to pack theatres and become a notable contender in the pan-India box office scene.
