Mohanlal’s Hridayapoorvam has managed to enter the top 10 debut weeks of 2025 for a non-Netflix film, with its viewership. The superstar, in fact, brought one of the biggest debut weeks for himself, surpassing the debut week numbers of his own – Thudarum & L2: Empuraan.
Mohanlal Pushes Dhanush Out Of The Top 10
Mohanlal has pushed Dhanush out of the top 10 debut weeks of 2025 for a non-Netflix arrival. Kuberaa garnered a viewership of 2.5 million in its debut week after its arrival on Prime Video. However, Mohanlal missed the top 5 spots by settling below Tamannaah Bhatia’s Odela, which garnered 3.8 million views on Prime Video in its debut week.
Hridayapoorvam, in its debut week, garnered a great viewership of 3.4 million, taking the top spot in the list of the most-watched streaming originals in India for the week of Sep 22 – July 28 as per Ormax data. It surpassed Veera Dheera Sooran, Alappuzha Gymkhana, and others.
Mohanlal Also Beats Vijay Sethupathi!
Apart from surpassing Kuberaa’s 2.5 million, Mohanlal also performed better than Vijay Sethupathi’s Thalaivan Thalaivii’s debut week. The romantic comedy, also starring Nithya Menen, garnered 2.5 million views in its debut and has been pushed out of the top 10 non-Netflix debuts!
