The Onam season is one of the most star studded and anticipated season for Mollywood and film lovers of Kerala. All the big stars as well as young stars wants to have an Onam release and may be it is because Onam is the official festival of Kerala or Kerala’s own festival related to its culture. In a more technical term we can say that it is an exclusive festival of Kerala and that spirit runs in everything related to Kerala. Malayalam film industry is no different in that as well.
During Onam, people eagerly wait for the Onam release films and another speciality related to these releases is that if a film gets an average or above average response from the audience in this season it can make a good profit from box office as everyone wants to see films in the 10 days of holidays in the state as a part of Onam celebration. This anticipation is visible now in online medias as well. This time we have five onam releases including the big films of Mohanlal, Mammootty, Prithviraj etc.
When the teaser of the Mohanlal starrer Loham had released two weeks back, it had trended in Facebook and crossed record views in YouTube. The trailer of the film also got great reception. The latest update is today the trailers of both Mammootty’s Utopiayile Rajavu and Lijo Jose Pellissery directorial film Double Barrel is released. Now both are trending in Facebook and as we can see there is a competition happening between both to win the race or to top the other. As per sources, Double Barrel is leading the chart but Uttopyayile Rajavu is closely following it. This shows how much people wants to see the films like Loham, Uttopyayile Rajavu and Double Barrel.
Loham was released on 20th August and created record in the box office collections and is still making merry at box office by already making a place in Onam hit chart. Now it’s the turn of big films like Utopiayile Rajavu and Double Barrel to do the same and both films are coming on this 27th to battle it out at the box office.
