The latest adaptation of the novel "Lalka" is drawing audiences to cinemas. As reported on 21 October 2026 by Filmweb, citing information from the distributor Kino Świat, the film has sold 2 million tickets. Three weeks have passed since its premiere.
The best Polish film of the year in cinemas
According to Filmweb, "Lalka" is the best-selling Polish film of this year. Among Polish productions, it is also the only one to have sold at least 2 million tickets. The site also notes that it is not yet the highest-grossing release of the year in Polish cinemas, as other titles are ahead of it.
Filmweb had previously reported that the film had passed the milestone of a million viewers.
Producer: cinemas only
The originator and producer of the film, Radosław Drabik, encourages people to watch it on the big screen. He says that in the coming months "Lalka" will not appear on any streaming platform. As he puts it, it should be seen for the first time only in a cinema.
What the film is about
The story is set in Warsaw in the late 19th century. Stanisław Wokulski returns to the country with a fortune made in the war. He wants to enter the world of high society in order to win the hand of Izabela Łęcka. She comes from the aristocracy, but faces financial ruin. At Wokulski's side is his friend Ignacy Rzecki, a romantic who watches as ideals give way to business interests and social aspirations.
The main roles are played by Marcin Dorociński (Wokulski), Kamila Urzędowska (Izabela Łęcka) and Marek Kondrat (Rzecki). The director is Maciej Kawalski.
What this means for you
The source gives no information about screenings of "Lalka" in the United Kingdom. Anyone interested in the film should check the listings for Polish-language screenings in their area. The producer says the film will not appear on streaming platforms in the coming months, so it will not be possible to watch it online during that time.
