For the last 30 years or so, Malayalam film industry was ruled by two acting legends in Indian Cinema. They are not just great actors but also the biggest stars we had ever witnesses in Mollywood as well. Yes, it is Mammootty and Mohanlal, the two undisputed kings in Malayalam fim industry. There are many came later and ruled a certain period here.But these two were still there with their mighty fan force and earth shattering box office power. There were Suresh Gopi, Jayaram, Dileep etc came and made some impact but not overpowered these two icons.
Now in 2015 two youngsters had come surprisingly overpowered Mohanlal and Mammootty at least for this year. It is Prithviraj and Nivin Pauly who rules the business in Mollywood this year. We don’t know whether they can sustain it or not in the coming days. As we said above, Suresh Gopi, Jayaram, Dileep etc also had their years in Mollywood but they cannot be able to sustain it like Mohanlal and Mammootty.
Prithviraj had 6 releases this year and the overall business his films had done this year was above 100 crore rupees. Nivin Pauly also acted in 4 films this year and they also done a business above 90 crore rupees and in total both Prithviraj and Nivin Pauly had done a business around 200 crore in Mollywood box office this year. On the other hand Mammootty and Mohanlal had together done a business around 80 crores only through the 9 films released of theirs here.
There is an interesting fact is that both Prithviraj and Nivin Pauly had done this business from almost 4 films even though there is 9 films released which had either Prithviraj or Nivin Pauly. Prithviraj had done almost 80 crore business out his 100 crore total business through two films named Ennu Ninte Moideen and Multi-starrer Amar Akbar Anthony. Nivin Pauly had also done 80 crore of his total business around 90 crore from two films named Oru Vadakkan Selfie and Premam.
So they had disasters too along with Mohanlal and Mammootty. That is why we said that we don’t know exactly about whether this trend of youngsters will continue or not. Because Mohanlal and Mammootty needs only one great script to shatter all box office records as they still the best in acting as well as fan power in Kerala.
