As per the latest collection report of the RS Vimal directorial sensational film named Ennu Ninte Moideen, it is all set to cross the 50 crore mark in its total gross. This Prithviraj starrer had already crossed 45 crores from worldwide and soon to cross 50 crores as well and thereby will become the 3rd film to do so in Mollywood after Mohanlal’s Drishyam and Nivin Paulys Premam.
2 years before a film with 50 crore collection was just a wild dream for Malayalam cinema. The biggest grossed film in Mollywood till 2013 December was the multi-star film named Twenty20 which has Mohanlal, Mamootty, Suresh Gopi, Jayaram, Dileep etc in the key rols and that film was the industry hit of Mollywood with 32 crore gross from all over the world.
But 2013 December witnessed an unbelievable film named Drishyam directed by Jeethu Joseph and starred by the biggest star in Malayalam film industry, Mohanlal had took the box office by a storm. It ended up collecting 66 crore from worldwide and amassed a total revenue of 75 crore rupees. Thus it had become the first Malayalam film to cross the 50 crore mark and made it look possible for Malayalam cinema. The next year itself Anjali Menon directed film Bangalore days earned a gross close to 40 crores and a total revenue just below 50 crores as well.
This year again witnessed such a film and it was Alphonse Puthren directorial film named Premam. It was amassed a total revenue around 60 crores and a gross above 50 crores and become the second biggest success here after Drishyam.
Moideen now has every chance to surpass Premam and become the second biggest box office success of Mollywood behind Drishyam. The collections are dropped for sure and if it can prolong its run a little more, then it can think of the prospect to beat Premam and sit behind Drishyam. Reaching to Drishyam total gross from here seems impossible as Moideen still need almost 20 crores from now to reach there. That seems almost impossible as the film had already crossed 60 days of theater run as well as lost a fair amount of screens due to new releases as well.
