Dulquer Salmaan’s Charlie took a grand opening in box office !
Charlie directed by Martin Prakatt with Dulquer Salmaan in the lead had released yesterday and generated mixed reviews among the audience and critics. Even though reviews were not all positive, the film had took a grand opening at box office thanks to the big release and great anticipation level it created before the release.
As per latest reports the first day gross of the film is above 2 crore rupees. It is one of the biggest openings in Kerala box office and only Mohanlal was able to cross that 2 crore mark in Kerala box office in the first day collection records. Now Charlie too joins that 2 crore club of first day collection records.
The flick is a musical love story with Dulquer Salmaan playing Charlie and Parvathy Menon playing Tessa. But earlier the hype was created around the film just like it as a mass film. That was the main reason for the mixed and negative reviews it had got. But at the same time it helped the film to get a grand opening as well in its first day and we have to wait for the collection of the film in the coming days to say anything about its box office success. Because sustaining good collection at box office with mixed reviews is quite difficult.
Dileep film Two Countries had released today and opened to great response as well. So it can also affect the collection of Charlie. But anyway in opening day it really rocked the Kerala box office for sure.
