Malayalam blockbuster Vaazha 2 has officially crossed the ₹200 Cr gross mark worldwide. With this, it becomes only the 5th Mollywood film ever to hit this huge milestone. The film is still running strong in theatres, and the Telugu version drops next weekend, which could push the numbers even higher. Right now, Vaazha 2 stands at ₹200 Cr+ and joins an exclusive list that includes Lokah at ₹302 Cr, Empuraan at ₹265 Cr, Manjummel Boys at ₹241 Cr, and Thudarum at ₹234 Cr.
Where Vaazha 2 will finally land in this top 5 is something everyone’s watching. The sequel has been surpassing expectations since it crossed ₹150 Cr and started eyeing the ₹200 Cr mark. What makes this win even bigger is the budget. Vaazha 2 was made on a single-digit crore budget. No big stars, no massive set pieces, just solid content. And it’s now rubbing shoulders with Mollywood’s biggest hits. That’s proof again that content is king at the box office, not the price tag.
Just a few days ago, Vaazha 2 entered Mollywood's all-time top 5 after hitting ₹175 Cr in 13 days. The holds have been strong across all markets since then. Now with the Telugu dubbed version releasing next weekend, Vaazha 2 could easily climb higher in the rankings. The film did great in Kerala and other states, so tapping into the Telugu audience gives it a lot of room to grow.
Malayalam cinema has been on a roll lately. We’ve seen multiple ₹100 Cr grossers in the last few years, and Vaazha 2 is another example of how Mollywood keeps delivering content-driven blockbusters. Made on a small budget, backed by strong word of mouth, and now a ₹200 Cr+ grosser, Vaazha 2 shows why Malayalam films are connecting with audiences all over India.
