Oru Mexican Aparatha has already turned into a box office success

Tovino Thomas’s much awaited campus political drama Oru Mexican Aparatha was released on March 3 to overwhelming response from the audience. The movie was released amid high expectations among the youngsters majorly due to Tovino’s rising popularity and the movie’s slant towards the communist ideology.

Oru Mexican Aparatha was opened to huge numbers in the box office. Though official reports from trade sources have not yet been released, the movie’s producer has informed that the initial day gross is more than Rs 3 crores. The authenticity of their claim can be confirmed only after the official reports from trade sources are released. But still, OMA is certain to have registered a business of more than 2 crores.

We hear that OMA was made on a shoestring budget of Rs 1.50 crores. In that case, the movie has already reached the break even mark. From the kind of response we see in the initial few days, OMA movie will certainly be a huge success at the box office. Tovino’s rising popularity among the youngsters will also have a massive impact in the box office collections.

Oru Mexican Aparatha, directed by Tom Emmatty also features Roopesh Peethambaran, Neeraj Madhav, Gayathri Suresh, Kalabhavan Shajon, Sunil Sukhada in supporting characters.

Vijayalakshmi’s decision to call off the wedding was appreciated by many. While talking to the media she said,

Vijayalakshmi was praised for taking a bold decision by not letting go off her career for the sake of a married life. Many celebrities and social media users supported her wholeheartedly.

Popular actress Rima Kallingal was one of the first to come out in support of her. In a recent Facebook post, she called Vijayalakshmi as a role model for all girls. Along with Vijayalakshmi’s photo, she wrote,

“Girls here is the role model you were all looking for.

And boys, nobody is going to ask you to leave your career behind after marriage. So this is going to be difficult for you guys to grasp. But then here is the kind of woman who can be a true soulmate; equal in strength, passion, self worth, hard work and sharing responsibilities for life.“

Jino John : The hero of Oru Mexican Aparatha’s real story

Debutant Tom Emmatty’s campus political drama Oru Mexican Aparatha has opened to excellent response from the audience. The movie is doing massive business this weekend and is certain to continue the successful run in the coming days also.

Oru Mexican Aparatha stars Tovino Thomas in the lead role. He has played the the lead role of Paul, a student in the Maharajas College. The basic plot of OMA is how Paul and his friends, who represent SFY, stand up against the atrocities of the ruling party KSQ and how they manage to win the college election.

The director has taken the cinematic liberty to change the party names to SFY and KSQ though it is ostensible that the parties mentioned here are SFI and KSU.

However, there is an interesting story behind Oru Mexican Aparatha. In real life, Jino John, a KSU representative won the Maharajas college union elections. It was after 37 long years that a KSU leader became the chairman of Maharajas college.

Jino has also acted in Oru Mexican Aparatha as a KSQ activist. He has given a commendable performance in the movie. He made his debut last year in Dileesh Pothen’s Maheshinte Prathikaram, in which he played the role of Jimson’s sidekick. In fact, the popular phrase “commondra Maheshe” was Jino’s dialogue in the movie.

Tovino Thomas retorts to comments about his rising popularity affecting Dulquer Salmaan’s stardom

Tovino Thomas retorts to comments about his rising popularity affecting Dulquer Salmaan’s stardom

Tovino Thomas is the hot favourite of the season. He has made rapid strides from a supporting actor to a bankable star, all through his hardwork and dedication to the craft. His latest release, Oru Mexican Aparatha (OMA) is creating waves in Kerala. The movie has got a humongous opening in the box office.

OMA is a campus political drama that features Tovino as an activist from the left front. It was released amid great hype majorly due to two reasons, Tovino’s increasing popularity and the fact that the movie supports the communist ideology. The kind of reception OMA received was unprecedented for a lesser known star.

Ever since the movie’s release, social media is flooded with appreciation for Tovino. Some even have gone to the extent of calling him a superstar in the making. However, Tovino chose to be humble and grounded without taking the success to his head.

Recently there were certain posts in social medias about Tovino’s rising popularity affecting Dulquer Salmaan and his stardom, forcing Tovino to respond.

He stated, “I would not appreciate posts against my friends and colleagues even if the aim is to flatter me.”

It is a disturbing trend to demean others for the sake of praising someone else. We urge fans not to indulge in such practices. With the burden of stardom comes the responsibility of keeping hold of one’s market value and pleasing the fans. Let’s hope Tovino does not fall in that bait and instead continues to be part of quality movies.

Though the plot of Veeram is familiar to Malayali audience, it’s the treatment and the presentation that has worked well for the movie. The setting, geography of the land, visuals and character looks are all entirely different from what we have seen in other movies.

Veeram was made as a multilingual in Malayalam, Hindi and English. Top notch technical values are the major highlight of the movie. Veteran cinematographer S Kumar has cranked the camera while Appu N Bhattathiri handled the edits.
