Balan Box Office Collection Day 7: The Malayalam psychological thriller Balan: The Boy has completed its first week in theatres with a steady run at the box office. Released on June 19, the film has continued to register collections through its opening week and is now approaching the ₹22 crore mark worldwide. As the film entered Day 8 (Friday, June 26), attention has shifted to how it performs over the second weekend.

According to trade estimates reported by box office tracking website Sacnilk, Balan: The Boy collected an estimated ₹0.96 crore India net on Day 7 (Thursday) from 886 shows. With this, the film's total India net collection has reached ₹11.27 crore, while its India gross stands at ₹13.06 crore after seven days in theatres.

The film has also maintained a steady performance in overseas markets. Its cumulative overseas gross has reached ₹8.85 crore, taking the worldwide gross collection to ₹21.91 crore by the end of its first week. The latest figures place the film within touching distance of the ₹22 crore milestone globally.

The film enjoyed its strongest collections during its opening weekend. It opened with ₹1.82 crore on its first Friday before rising to ₹2.35 crore on Saturday. Sunday turned out to be the biggest day of its run so far, with collections touching ₹2.90 crore, supported by improved occupancy during the weekend.

As expected, collections slowed after the weekend. The film earned ₹1.15 crore on Monday, followed by ₹1.11 crore on Tuesday. Wednesday contributed ₹0.98 crore, while Thursday remained largely stable with ₹0.96 crore, indicating that the film has maintained a relatively consistent weekday trend heading into its second weekend.
