LIK: Love Insurance Kompany Box Office Collection Day 1: Pradeep's Film Gets Solid Opening In Tamil Nadu

Despite getting mixed reviews, LIK: Love Insurance Kompany is off to a flying start at the India box office. Notably, Pradeep Ranganathan-starrer has got a good opening Tamil Nadu and in the Telugu-speaking markets.

The film's performance indicates a decent initial pull in core Tamil markets, while its reach in other regions remains modest.

On Day 1 (Friday), Vignesh Shivan-directorial film collected a net of ₹6.85 crore across 3,202 shows in India, translating to a gross of ₹7.93 crore. Overseas markets contributed an additional ₹2.00 crore, taking the worldwide gross to ₹9.93 crore, according to Sacnilk data. While these figures are not explosive, they establish a stable foundation for the weekend, particularly given the absence of a major holiday boost.

The Tamil version has emerged as the clear driving force behind the film's opening. It contributed ₹5.45 crore to the India net total, accounting for the lion's share of revenue with an average occupancy of 37.0% across 2,117 shows. In contrast, the Telugu version added ₹1.40 crore with a lower occupancy of 25.0% from 1,085 shows, the data read.

Occupancy trends throughout the day suggest that the film benefited from strong evening and night footfall. Overall occupancy for the Tamil version stood at 33.75%, with morning shows at 22.92% gradually rising to an impressive 49.54% in night shows. This upward trend indicates positive word-of-mouth or strong walk-in audiences, particularly among younger viewers.

Regionally, Chennai led the charge with a robust 53.8% overall occupancy across 448 shows, peaking at an excellent 74.0% during night screenings. Trichy also recorded exceptional numbers, registering the highest overall occupancy at 60.8%, signalling strong demand in select centres. Coimbatore (43.0%) and Pondicherry (46.8%) performed well, reinforcing the film's appeal in urban and semi-urban Tamil belts.

However, performance in non-core regions remained underwhelming. Bengaluru reported a modest 23.0% occupancy despite hosting 234 shows, while Mumbai lagged significantly at just 13.8%. The National Capital Region (NCR) also recorded low traction with 19.0% occupancy, highlighting limited penetration in northern markets.

State-wise gross collections further underline Tamil Nadu's dominance. The state alone contributed ₹5.50 crore out of the ₹7.93 crore India gross. Andhra Pradesh and Telangana added ₹1.50 crore, while Karnataka contributed ₹0.68 crore. Kerala and the rest of India combined delivered under ₹0.25 crore, indicating that the film's appeal remains largely regional at this stage.

Despite a middling start in some territories, the film's decent occupancy growth through the day and strong performance in Tamil Nadu suggest potential for upward momentum over the weekend. Much will depend on sustained word-of-mouth and its ability to capitalise on urban youth audiences.

In summary, LIK: Love Insurance Kompany has registered a good opening with clear regional strengths. While it may not have delivered a blockbuster Day 1, its steady start and improving occupancy trends leave room for growth in the coming days.
