The film earned ₹1.35 crore on day one of its release. On day two, it earned ₹75 lakh nett in India. So far, the film has earned ₹2.02 crore.
The film follows the life of a superstar, David Padikkal, who shot to superstardom in the Malayalam film industry but is going through a rough patch.
The Hindustan Times review of the film read, “Nadikar tries to narrate the cathartic process that David Padikkal undergoes to become better at what he does and who he is. For Tovino Thomas, who likes to experiment with his roles, essaying David Padikkal would have been relatable and a cakewalk, given that he’s a star himself. For director Lal Jr and writer Somasekharan, who sought to introspect about the film industry, which they are a part of, Nadikar could have been much more than what it is.”
Nadikar is a Malayalam-language comedy-drama film directed by Lal Jr. It has been written by Suvin S Somasekharan. Apart from Tovino, the film also stars Divya Pillai, Soubin Shahir, Balu Varghese, Suresh Krishna, and Bhavana. It released to negative responses from both the critics and the audience. Nadikar has been produced by Godspeed Cinema and Mythri Movie Makers.
Originally titled Nadikar Thilakam, the title of the film was officially changed to Nadikar in January 2024 after Tamil actor Shivaji Ganeshan’s fans requested it. An event was held the same month to announce the name change. The film was shot across 30 locations in Kochi, Munnar, Hyderabad, Dubai and Kashmir.
