Nivin Pauly's New Film Eyes Second-Best Advance Ever

Nivin Pauly's latest film, Bethlehem Kudumba Unit, directed by Girish AD, is generating significant pre-release buzz. Advance ticket sales in Kerala have already surpassed those of Pauly's previous hit, Sarvam Maya, reaching 1.25 crore by Thursday afternoon. This positions the film to become the second-highest advance grosser of Nivin Pauly's career, trailing only behind Kayamkulam Kochunni.

Worldwide pre-sales for Bethlehem Kudumba Unit have grossed over 1.7 crore. Projections indicate that the film's opening day collection in India alone will exceed 3.5 crore, with potential to reach 4 crore if initial reviews are positive. To break Pauly's career-best opening day record of 5.3 crore set by Kayamkulam Kochunni in 2018, Bethlehem Kudumba Unit will need a very strong performance.

The film also features Mamitha Baiju and is described as a heartwarming rom-com about first love and second chances. Ashley, returning from abroad, finds her homecoming complicated by memories of her first love, Justin.
