Check the 7:30 shows till 12th Dec...See the status of Balcony Tickets. Also realize that the movie is released in majority theaters and almost all those theaters especially in the town plays 3 fans show prior to normal shows where almost all are sold out. Now eyes are on INOX and 100% status.
This can be only achieved if the movie has an enormous hype and this came naturally. Not a forced, planned, created hype like Odiyan.
If the situations were normal, Marakkar would have easily proved you that its the Emperor amongst the Lords (Odiyan, Lucifer, Pulimurugan etc). If association didn't involve themselves in dirty politics, it would have broken Odiyan's initial by a mile. And still many think it will.
