The supernatural thriller 'Other Mommy' made its theatrical debut across Indian cinemas with a restrained opening performance. The film, helmed by director Rob Savage, brings to screen an adaptation of Josh Malerman's novel 'Incidents Around the House', marking another entry in the horror genre for the Indian market.
The movie's opening day collections reflected the cautious approach audiences are taking towards genre films in the current theatrical landscape. Industry observers noted that the film's performance was in line with typical opening patterns for international horror productions in the region.
The adaptation maintains the novel's focus on supernatural elements and household tensions, attempting to translate Malerman's literary narrative to cinema. With its international creative team and source material, the film represents the continued influx of foreign horror properties seeking Indian audience engagement.
The opening numbers suggest the film will need to build momentum through word-of-mouth and weekend collections to achieve stronger commercial performance. Box office analysts will be watching the coming days closely to gauge whether 'Other Mommy' can expand its audience base beyond the initial modest reception.
