Kerala Box Office : Kattappanayile Hrithik Roshan Collection Report 14 Days

Kattappanayile Hrithik Roshan, the Nadirsha directorial movie starred by fresh face Vishnu Unnikrishnan and produced by popular actor Dileep, is emerging as another blockbuster of this year in Mollywood. This movie hit the screens on the 18th of November this year and got great word of mouth from the very first show itself.

Now, it has been making big money at box office and just like Nadirsha’s first film named Amar Akbar Anthony, this one too turned out to be a money spinner.

As per the latest collection report that is coming in from the trade pandits in our industry, this flick had earned around 11.40 crore from its 14 days run here in Kerala. The Kerala share of the film had crossed 5.5 crore and as a low budget movie, it had already entered the profit zone from its theatre share alone.

Reports says that the UAE/GCC collection of the movie is around 4 crore and the worldwide total gross of the movie is around 16 crore as well. It is still having decent business here in Kerala and expected gross over 15 crore from Kerala alone before the Christmas releases takes away screens from it.

Shocking ! Mammootty movie Thoppil Joppan ends up as a flop at the box office

Megastar Mammootty’s Thoppil Joppan was released on October 7 during the Pooja holidays. The movie was directed by Johny Antony and written by Nishad Koya.

There were many specualtions and reports about the collections of the movie. Some reports in Wikipedia suggested that Thoppil Joppan had made a business of over 50 crores.

But according to our sources, Thoppil Joppan was a failure at the box office incurring a loss of about 2 crores for the producer. Our sources also inform that some of the crew members have not yet received their payment. When contacted, the producer is not even attending phone calls. They have asked, “why is the producer not responding to our calls if the movie had made big business as they claim”.

Thoppil Joppan was released alongside Mohanlal’s Pulimurugan. Within the industry, there were generally talks that Pulimurugan might flop at the box office. So apparently, the makers of Thoppil Joppan took a gamble and released their movie alongside the biggie.

But the move backfired as Pulimurugan was welcomed with great initial response and soon started breaking box office records. Whereas, Thoppil Joppan was an usual run of a mill kind movie where the only saving grace was Mammootty’s performance. Theatre counts were reduced after a week and the movie had to end up as a flop, both critically and commercially.

Thoppil Joppan was produced by Noushad Alathur under the banner Grande Film Corporation.

After becoming the first ever Malayalam movie to gross 100 crore from theatres and also the first ever movie to have 30000+ shows from A Class theatres in Kerala, Puli Murugan had created another magical milestone. It had become the first ever Movie to gross over 4 crore from the multiplexes of Ernakulam on its 60th day.

No other Malayalam movies had never even touched the 3 crore mark from there and that makes Pulimurugan record very special. The second highest grosser from there is a Hollywood movie named Jungle Book which had earned around 3.72 crore from its lifetime run.

The second best Malayalam grosser from there is, Jacobinte Swargarajyam, which had earned only 2.95 crore from its life time run.

Will the poor response in IFFI, Goa affect Veeram in theatres?

Will the poor response in IFFI, Goa affect Veeram in theatres?

Veeram directed by National award winning filmmaker Jayaraj is a much expected movie. The film was in the news for its massive budget and the international crew.

It is currently the most expensive movie ever made in Malayalam cinema with a budget of around 35 crores.

Bollywood actor Kunal Kapoor is playing the lead in this epic historical drama. Veeram is the fifth installment in director Jayaraj’s Navarasa series. It is adapted from legendary poet Shakespear’s classic work Macbeth.

The movie was recently screened in the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) held at Goa. The movie was met with response from the packed audience who watched the movie.

Many of them criticised the poor VFX works and the other technical aspects of the movie. Critics pointed out that the movie lacked the quality of a movie with international standards, which the makers had claimed.

Now, the movie will be screened at the International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK) held at Thiruvananthapuram. The negative word of mouth has already soured down the expectation levels.

We will have to wait for the response from the audience in IFFK. If the critics pan the movie, it will be a big set back for the makers because that will have a major impact when the movie releases in theatres.

So naturally it will be very difficult to reap profits out of the theatres because of the huge budget involved.

Veeram is co-produced by Chandramohan Pillai and Pradeep Rajan of Chandrakala Arts.
