Going by the trends, the Sunday collection is expected to be higher than the previous three days for Guruvayoorambala Nadayil.

Guruvayoorambala Nadayil opened in cinemas to mostly positive reviews. The film revolves around the strong brotherhood formed between two men who are about to become part of the same family. However, their love for each other is tested when a past connection between them is revealed.

Basil Joseph plays a co-lead alongside Prithviraj. The buddy comedy also tests Prithviraj's ability to shoulder a full-fledged comedy movie.

"Vipin Das uses all the tricks in the book, including the repeated song interlude of the old Tamil song 'Azhagiya Laila' and dialogues from Mohanlal's movies to keep us entertained. It's a light-hearted, mindless comedy that you probably will not regret watching," wrote Manoj Kumar R for Desimartini.

Considering its moderate budget, Guruvayoorambala Nadayil has already become a commercial hit. This is Prithviraj's third consecutive box office success following Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire and Aadujeevitham.
