Parvathy Thiruvothu’s latest film Pradhama Drishtya Kuttakkar has crossed the Rs 25 crore mark worldwide, giving the crime thriller a significant box-office milestone despite competition from several major Malayalam releases.

Directed by Shahad, the film has performed strongly without relying on a conventional superstar-led cast. Its theatrical run comes alongside the continuing success of Nivin Pauly and Mamitha Baiju’s Bethlehem Kudumba Unit and Dulquer Salmaan’s I’m Game.

For Parvathy, however, the film’s success represents more than a box-office number. The actor has spoken about building a relationship of trust with audiences through the projects she chooses.

She has described success in terms of reaching a point where audiences associate her presence with the possibility of something meaningful or worthwhile in a film.

Parvathy’s career has also included periods of setbacks and fewer releases. After having no theatrical release in 2025, the response to Pradhama Drishtya Kuttakkar marks a notable return to the big screen.

She has also reflected on Bangalore Days, a film that influenced how she watches her own work and approaches her career.

The Rs 25 crore milestone therefore comes against the backdrop of a longer journey for an actor who has continued to prioritise audience connection and distinctive roles.
