Oppam stands between Pulimurugan for a wide release
Mohanlal starrer Pulimurugan is gearing up for release on October 7th. The movie is all set to have a grand release. Opening day records are expected to be rewritten with release of Pulimurugan.
Reportedly Pulimurugan will be releasing in around 325 theatres. In Kerala the movie will be releasing in 160 theatres. Earlier the movie was planned to have the biggest opening ever in Kerala with a release in over 200 theatres.
But, Mohanlal’s Onam release Oppam is still running successfully in all the theatres. Apparently, the actor did not want to affect the collections of Oppam with a wide release for Pulimurugan. Oppam has has completed 10,000 shows from 28 days.
Recently Oppam became the fastest movie to enter the 30 crore club in Malayalam cinema. Oppam is also doing great business overseas and is expected to continue the good run in the coming weeks.
If Pulimurugan is releasing massively in a large number of theatres then Oppam’s dream run will be cut short. Oppam is all set to enter the prestigious 50 crore club in Mollywood.
Pulimurugan will be releasing in 165 theatres outside Kerala. Earlier, the censor board has given a clean U certificate for the movie. The run time of the movie is 2hrs and 37 minutes. The makers have also made it clear that they will release the movie in more theatres after the inital audience response.
Pulimurugan is directed by Vyshakh and written by Udyakrishna. The film is bankrolled by Tomichan Mulakupadam under his banner Mulakupadam films.
