Anubhav Mohanty’s comeback film, Chardham – A Journey Within, an emotional Odia drama centered on family bonds and a spiritual quest, is still pulling in viewers ten days after its release. Out on September 25, the movie also stars Mamata Tripathy, Sukant Rath, and Ashish Kumar Das, and it’s getting talked about for its heartfelt take on parents and life’s journeys. People are calling it a fresh, authentic watch without the usual over-the-top stuff social media posts highlight its touching moments and strong performances, though some say it could use a bit more pace.

Theaters in Odisha saw okay footfall on day 10, around 40-50% occupancy in places like Bhubaneswar and Cuttack, with families showing up for the Saturday vibe. Word-of-mouth from local audiences is helping it stick around, especially in smaller towns where the theme hits home.

Chardham came with decent buzz as Anubhav’s big return after a break, and being a remake of an old Telugu hit added curiosity. Shot on a budget of about 5 crores—pretty big for an Odia flick it grabbed over 5,000 advance tickets nationwide, showing solid pre-release interest.

No major competition in the regional space helped, but it leaned on festival timing near Dussehra. Opening day was steady, with collections building over the first weekend before settling into a consistent run. Overseas numbers are minimal, mostly from Odia communities abroad, but it’s all adding up slowly.

Future Box Office Prediction


Chardham might pick up a little more on Sunday with weekend crowds, possibly adding another 0.25-0.3 crores. If it keeps the momentum in Odisha through the week, it could push past 3 crores gross soon, but with the budget at 5 crores, it’ll need stronger legs and no big new releases to get closer to breaking even. Positive vibes from family viewers could help it run longer in home turf.

All in all, Chardham is quietly making its mark as an emotional ride in Odia cinema, proving there’s space for sincere stories amid the big action flicks. It’s not setting the box office on fire, but its steady hold shows real audience connect.
