Loham still at the top with 2.54 first day gross from Kerala ?
Social media was debating only one issue in last few days and it is about the first day collection record of Loham and Charlie. Loham made history this year by earning 2.14 crores from its first day from Kerala and surpassed the record made by Mohanlal’s Casanovva in 2011. Casanovva had earned rupees 2.10 crore from its first day. Loham released in 141 screens had surpassed that record this year Onam season.
Now Charlie had released in 114 screens reportedly broke that record by a small margin of 4 lakhs rupees as it had earned 2.18 crore from its first day as per initial reports. Then start the fan war and hot discussions in social media about the truth behind Charlie collections and all that. But now it seems all clear as the producer/distributor Antony Perumbavoor told to Malayala Manorama that the first day collection of the film Loham is a whopping 2.54 crores and still the flick ruling the record books in style.
Only distributor can give the correct collection record of a film. In the case of Loham, it is financed under the banner of Ashirvad Cinemas and it was distributed by Maxlab which is also owned by the production team. So when the sources close to them gives the figure of their film’s collection we have to accept it. Charlie had reportedly earned above 2 crore for sure from its first day and it is a big thing for a young star like Dulquer Salmaan. He is the only Mollywood star to cross the 2 crore mark in first day other than the Mohanlal who had done it twice.
