Padayottam enters second week with housefull shows all over!
The Biju Menon starrer Padayottam continues to do well in all the release centres in Kerala. The movie has entered its second successful week of theatrical run with housefull shows in most centres. The four day long weekend is doing wonders for the movie at the box office. Multiplexes in Kochi and Trivandrum are having high occupancy and it is expected to be the same in the coming days as well. Despite facing stiff competition from all other films like Theevandi, Varathan and Saamy Square, Padayottam is moving forward strongly.
The movie directed by debutant Rafeek Ibrahim got released last on September 14 and opened to great response from the common audience. Critics have rated its a complete laughathon. The fact that it is a fun entertainer is pulling not just the youngsters, but families and kids as well.
After its good run in Kerala, Padayottam was released in UAE and GCC earlier this week. The was released in a good number of screens in areas like Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Alain, Sharjah, Fujairah, Oman, Baharain, Kuwait and Qatar. The word of mouth has largely been positive and hence has taken a good opening at the overseas box office.
Newcomers Arun AR and Ajai Rahul have scripted the movie as a travel-comedy revolving around an eventful journey from Trivandrum to Kasargod. Along with Biju Menon, Dileesh Pothan, Saiju Kurup, Sudhi Koppa and Basil Joseph play the other major roles. It is the crackling chemistry between the lead actors and the continuous fun element in the script that makes Padayottam a thoroughly enjoyable ride.
Sophia Paul of Weekend Blockbusters has produced the movie.
