"Aavesham" was both a critical and commercial juggernaut. Released on April 11, 2024, to coincide with the Vishu festival, the film opened to overwhelmingly positive reviews, with high praise for Jithu Madhavan's direction, the action sequences, and the performances. At the box office, it was a phenomenon. The film, made on a budget of approximately ₹30 crore, went on to gross an estimated ₹154.8 crore worldwide, becoming the fourth highest-grossing Malayalam film of 2024. It crossed the ₹100 crore milestone in just two weeks. By its third week, it had amassed over ₹126 crore globally, solidifying its status as a blockbuster and the highest-grossing solo film of Fahadh Faasil's career. The film's energy was further amplified by Sushin Shyam's chart-topping music, with tracks like "Illuminati" and "Galatta" becoming viral hits.
