Pulimurugan VFX breakdown video released

Malayalam cinema’s biggest ever blockbuster, Pulimurugan was not just a mass masala star vehicle. It had a theme that was not much tried in Mollywood. A man vs wild story is always a tedious task to execute.

Considering the budget constraints of Mollywood, it would have been even more difficult for director Vysakh and his team to deliver a quality output. But, they managed to bring out the best VFX works ever seen in a Malayalam cinema.

Mohanlal played the title character, as a hunter known in the locality to hunt down man eating tigers. The movie had nearly 30-40 minutes of footages involving tigers and the VFX team did an incredible job. Even the slightest of mistakes would have made it look awkward on screen. Critics had unanimously appreciated the team’s efforts. In fact, the VFX works are one of the major reasons why the movie became such a sensation among the families and kids.

Firefly creative studio, who did the VFX works of Pulimurugan have released the breakdown video on how they executed the portions with the tigers.

The makers had recently announced that the 3D verison of Pulimurugan hit screens in April this year. It will be an amazing experience to watch the VFX scenes in the 3D format.

1971 Beyond Borders fails to beat The Great Father teaser record; Solid clash in the box office

1971 Beyond Borders fails to beat The Great Father teaser record; Solid clash in the box office

The big Ms of Mollywood are all set to lock horns this summer as Mammootty’s The Great Father (TGF) and Mohanlal’s 1971 Beyond Borders is all set to release back to back with a week’s gap. While TGF is scheduled to hit screens on March 30, the Mohanlal starrer will release on April 7.

Both the movies are eagerly awaited by the superstars’ fans. The teaser for Mohanlal’s 1971 Beyond Borders was released recently but failed to match up to the impact created by the Mammootty starrer. TGF has crossed over 77 lakh views and is currently the most watched teaser in Mollywood.

Mammootty’s The Great Father teaser was released to overwhelming response in social media. It clocked millions of views in a matter of few hours but the Mohanlal starrer has only managed to clock around 15 lakh views even after a week.

Now the wait is to see which movie will have the biggest impact in the box office. TGF, directed by debutant Haneef Adeni without any doubt the most anticipated Mammootty starrer in recent years. The hype surrounding the movie is sky high and if it manages to get a positive word of mouth, TGF will most probably end up as the biggest blockbuster ever in Mammootty’s career.

1971 Beyond Borders, directed by Major Ravi is a war drama based on the 1971 war between India and Pakistan. The movie cannot boast of a great hype as Major Ravi- Mohanlal team’s last few movies like Kandahar and Karmayodha were commercial failures. But considering the fact that Mohanlal is riding on three successive 50 crore movies, 1971 Beyond Borders also have a great chance to become a massive success.

So, this summer will be an exciting season for Malayali movie lovers as the two pillars of Mollywood will be clashing at the box office again.

Actor Vinayakan winning the Kerala State Award came in as a pleasant surprise for many. Though there were widespread support for Vinayakan to win the award, not many gave a chance considering how the awards were adjudged in the past few years.

Ever since the release of Kammattipadam, there was a strong support for Vinayakan. But the support became widespread and stronger after some channel awards did not even nominate his name. It became more like a protest against the system that has overlooked those who actually deserve to succeed.

After winning the award, a press meet was held yesterday in Ernakulam where Vinayakan also reiterated the fact that this award is a result of the youth’s protest against the system.

He said, “There is a protest happening in the country against the system. The massive support I have been getting in social media is a part of it. Vinayakan added that the protest could either be against the existing social system or against certain individuals.”

During an interaction with the media after the awards were announced on Wednesday, Vinayakan was asked “Did you expect it?“. He blatantly replied “I neither have interest in the system nor do I have belief in it.”

Vinayakan also added that like any other field, discrimination in the name of caste and colour is prevalent in cinema industry also.
