In just 14 days since its release, Jithu Madhavan’s sophomore directorial venture ‘Aavesham’, starring Fahadh Faasil in the lead role, has emerged as a box office powerhouse, raking in an impressive ₹52.31 crore in net earnings across India.

The film, set in Bengaluru, follows the story of three college students and a gangster they encounter while searching for a goon to take revenge on their behalf against a group of troublesome seniors.
Besides Fahadh Faasil, the film also features Sajin Gopu, Mansoor Ali Khan, Ashish Vidyarthi, Hipzster, Mithun Jai Sankar, Roshan Shanavas, and Midhutty in supporting roles.
ETimes gave the film a rating of 3.5 out of 5, praising Faasil’s performance as Ranga. The review read, “Just when you think Fahadh Faasil—or FaFa—has aced some of the best characters he could possibly get in his career, he goes all out as Ranga in writer-director Jithu Madhavan’s goofball gangster film Aavesham. Jithu Madhavan has already shown that he knows how to do things differently and with style with his debut horror movie, Romancham. He has delivered another unique comedy with Aavesham.”
