Cinema is not a one man show, says Nivin Pauly

Nivin Pauly, one of the most sought after young stars of Mollywood had come up with his first film after the big success he got through Premam last year. It is Action Hero Biju which was scripted and directed by Abrid Shine. The film had released on 5th February of this year and received good critical appreciation. Even though it had got a mixed audience response, the film said have made the producers safe with its box office collection. Nivin Pauly who is one of the producers of this film along with Abrid Shine and Shibu, says that Cinema is not a one man show at all.

Nivin Pauly said that films like Premam, Action Hero Biju etc was accepted by the audience because it was a collective effort. The film is not based on him and his performance alone. Each and every characters has their own identity and they had the space to give their performance in the film in a manner in which others will notice their talent. He never thinks that the film he is acting is al depended on him or the whole responsibility on his head alone.

Each and every actors and technicians has their own importance while making a film and making it a success. In Actin Hero Biju, many new faces had acted and got great appreciation as well. Even the character of Suraj Venjarammood who came only in 2 scenes got more applause from the audience than anyone who acted in that film in more scenes. That character by Suraj had helped the film a lot to get attention and to get the success it is receiving today.

Nivin Pauly also said that he does not put any criteria while selecting a script. If a story gives a spark which tells him that this is something new or it has something in it to make a film, then he will accept it. It may be a success or may be a failure. That not really concerns him as he had already made his decision to do it and then what he has to do is, stand by his decision.

Action Hero Biju Collection Report – 15 Days

Nivin Pauly is continuing his success story with Action Hero Biju as well which was his first release of this year. Even though it is not a blockbuster success and it had not generated that much frenzy which his previous films like Premam and Oru Vadakkan Selfie had created. But he took the risk to come out of the safe zone and do a realistic police film when people expected a mass masala flick from him.

The director Abrid shine who conceived this film also presented the subject with courage and both of them deserves the appreciation that they were receiving from celebrities and critics now. As per the latest reports from trade pundits, Action Hero Biju had grossed around 8.5 crores from 15 days of its theater run from Kerala.

Even though the film had took a very good opening around 1.59 crore rupees, it had taken a beating in the coming days due to the mixed response. Abrid Shine and Nivin Pauly said to media that someone had really tried to destroy their film through social media. Still the film gets decent collection on Holidyas and evening shows on the working days also showing good numbers for the film.

Puthiya Niyamam Collection Report – 7 Days

AK Sajan directorial and scripted movie named Puthiya Niyamam had released on February 12th this year and as you all know, Mega star Mammootty and Super heroine Nayanthara played the lead roles in the film. The film had opened to some mixed reviews from all over which means there are people who liked the film and there are people who opines that the film has not risen to a level that they expected it to be.

Anyway, the mixed response had taken a beating on the box office collection of the film and as per sources from industry, the flick had earned above 5 crore rupees from its 7 days of theatrical run in Kerala. Puthiya Niyamam, a family thriller, had come after postponing the releasing date multiple times. Then it came to an atmosphere filled with great anticipation from fans as well.

It is partially succeeded in a way as it pleased majority of the fans of Mammootty. But neutral audience was divided and given only an average or below average rating to the film. Mouth publicity also spread around Kerala just like it is a one time watchable thriller and nothing more than that.

Now the film is struggling at box office on working days and from morning to evening, very low collection is reporting from all around. Its only relief in working days are the average or above average evening show collections. The only factor that is saving the film is now is the absence of big releases in Mollywood for some days. So that Puthiya Niyamam can hold its screens for a while and hope for a revival by good promotion.

The images are variations that the team behind the work contemplated on Mohammed Kunjali Marikar, as envisaged by the team called Whambam Chennai with references from Dr. MGS. Urs. Shank, said by Shankar Ramakrishnan in his Facebook comment. Last year Mohanlal also played Kunjali Marakkar on stage under the direction of TK Rajeev Kumar at Trivandrum. That was also a light and sound show and got great appreciation as well. But all that appreciation was went unnoticed later as the Lalissm issue happened after that Light and sound show and Mohanlal was victimized in some political plays in the name of that show.

Now, Mammootty is coming with one light and sound show like that and we hope that he too will make us proud with this one. Shankar Rama Krishnan is a writer, director and a popular actor as well. He had acted with both Mohanlal and Mammootty in Renjith films.

Mohanlal did all fight in Puli Murugan without dupes, says producer

Mohanlal’s upcoming film Puli Murugan is almost completed its shooting and the crew is now in the final schedule of the film. But last day a photo came in social Media in which we saw one of the crew members is posing with a man from outside India wearing Puli Murugan costumes which saw in the first look poster of the film. Then started spreading a rumor that Mohanlal is using dupes to fight in this film. The news got much significance because Mohanlal is known as a terrific fighter and he never uses dupes for a film.

We had seen his many films in which he had done adventurous screens and fight sequences all by himself and many are calling him the best ever fighter Mollywood had ever seen. So the rumor about he using dupe for this particular film spread fastly. But now the producer of the film Puli Murugan had come out and said to Media that Mohanlal had not used dupes in this film and he had done all fight by himself.

Tomichan Mulakupadam, who produced Puli Murugan said that Mohanlal insisted that he is not using any dupes and he will do all fight by himself. And the fact about the photo is just another. The man who we saw in the photo was Peter Hein’s fight assistant who helps him to compose and set fight sequences. He is not here for playing dupe fight for Mohanlal.

Puli Murugan will have many action sequences and India’s biggest fight master Peter Hein is the action choreographer of this film which is directed by Vysakh and scripted by Udaya Krishna. Mollywood film lovers are waiting eagerly for the film and it will not declared the releasing date yet.

Hello Namasthe Review

0

Hello Namasthe is the new release of Mollywood which came this Friday and it is came from a debutant director named Jayan K Nair. The film had a very cool and great star cast which includes popular artists like Vinay Fort, Soubin Shaheer, Aju Varghese, Joju George, Bhavana, Mia George, Sanju Sivaram, Mukesh, Muthumani, P Balachandran etc. The film had attracted the audience with its trailer also with its colourful promo posters and songs even before the release. The film has been produced by Dr. Freemu Varghese under the banner of Freedia Entertainments.

The film deals with the life of two friends who are colleagues as well. It about their friendship, work and their family as well. Vinay Fort and Sanju Sivaram playing the lead in the film and they are playing two radio Jockies named Madhav and Jerry. Madhav is married to Priya played by Bhavana and Jerry is married to Anna played by Mia George. They were all leading a happy life with all youthful energy they have. But a strange situation related to a jackfruit tree in which they landed had created some conflicts in their life and the film shows how they really solves that situation.

A poor screenplay and rather poorer direction is just killed the film. The plot is a kind of strange one and they presented it in a way just like some comedy television serials. Most of the funny part in the film failed miserably to make the audience laugh and that itself sealed the fate of the film which came claiming as a comedy entertainer. Music given by Masala Coffee and  Deepankuran was just raised to an average level only and was not very pleasing to the ears. Same is the case with background music as well at many places. DOP was handled by P Sukumar and he had done a decent job. On

On performance side, all artists had done only an average job. Vinay Fort and Sanju Sivaram tried to present Madhav and Jerry convincingly, but they were not really up to the mark. Soubin Shaheer again got applause from the audience with his own unique style of dialogue delivery and the one liners of him was received well by the viewers. Joju George, Mukesh, Aju Varghese etc does not have much depth in their characters but they had done their roles without making us feel disappointed. Bhavana and Mia george who played the female leads also failed to impress. The screenplay does not provided them a wide range of emotions to portray on screen, they had only maneged to look charming and nothing more than that.

On the whole, Hello Namasthe is an unbearable movie which will waste your time and money apart from making you curse yourself for entering the cinema hall.

Director : Jayan K Nair
Release Date : 19/02/2016
Cast : Vinay Forrt, Sanju Sivaram, Bhavana, Miya

Pulimurugan going to be the first ever Malayalam film to have a China release !

Mollywood is now expanding year by year and in the box office collections we can see that expansion. We saw in 2013 that, Mollywood’s biggest star Mohanlal inaugurated the 50 crore club of Mollywood with his film named Drishyam directed by Jeethu Joseph which totally done a business around 75 crore. Then in last two years, 3 more films entered the 50 crore club, like Premam, Ennu Ninte Moideen and Two Countries. Many films like Bangalore days, Amar Akbar Anthony etc had done around 40 cr business as well.

But now Mollywood is all set to create history through a release in China. And it will be again Mohanlal who is going to set that history as his upcoming film Pulimurugan will have a China release as well along with its Malayalam, Telugu, English and Tamil versions.

Puthiya Niyamam Collection Report – 5 Days

Mammootty’s recent release Puthiya Niyamam had opened to mixed response from the audience and critics alike. There are people who liked the film and there are ones who do not find much good in the film as well. Now, that mixed reviews affecting the box office collections of the film as well. From the first day itself, the film not showing great promise at box office. This AK Sajan directorial and written flick is doing only an average business in box office now. As per the latest reports from trade guides. Puthiya Niyamam had made a gross just below or just around 4 crore rupees from 5 days of its theater run here in Kerala.

Even in the holidays, it did not getting that enormous pull of the audience and the film is showing little bit strength only in the evening and night shows. But it is not getting houseful shows at all major centers as well. That unbalanced equation all over Kerala had made the film look tired in its box office run. In Multiplexes of Ernakulam, the film is showing a status way too below a standard level, specially, till evening. Evening shows are now the relief of the film. Now the share of the film from Kerala is just below or around 2 crore and it had to maintain a steady collection till next weekend and may be for another week, to enter in to a safe zone.

The verdict of the film cannot be told now as it stands in a position where we can’t call it a box office success or a box office failure. It is in between and trying to go to the category of a box office success. We have to wait till one more week to confirm whether it will get to that safe zone or not.

The superb run of Maheshinte Prathikaram is blocking Puthiya Niyamam a big way and as per reports, at some main centers, even Nivin Pauly’s Action Hero Biju is getting more crowd response than Puthiya Niyamam. The exam month is also affecting the film too much as per reports.

Premam title remains the same in Telugu version as well !

Premam is still in news and now it had made a place in news related to the Telugu remake of the film. The film is remade in Telugu after its great success in Mollywood and also the great success it got when released in Tamil Nadu. Tamil film lovers don’t want to remake this in to Tamil as they already really loved the Malayalam version and the film had ran more than 250 days at Chennai. But the Telugu remake had started shooting months ago and as per reports the shoot has been almost finished. They had released the first look poster of the Telugu Version as well. But the news that coming in says that they had not changed the title of the film. Now in Telugu also, the film is Premam.

Earlier there has been reports that in Telugu version, the film will be called as Majnu. But they decided against it at the last moment and considering the popularity of the title, they fixed the original title to the remade version as well. Naga Chaitanya is playing the male lead in the Telugu version and artists like Sruthi Hasan and Anupama Parameshwaran (who acted in the Malayalam version as well) playing female leads.

Disha Pattani said to be doing the character played by Madonna Sebastian in the Mollywood version.

The Telugu version is directed by Chandoo Mondetti. Malayalam version directed, scripted and edited by Alphonse Puthran and Starred by Nivin Pauly had become the second biggest success ever happened in Mollywood and also made record in Tamil Nadu by running more than 250 days at Chennai, which is an all-time record for a Malayalam film.

The film which had become very popular all over south India is now considered as one of the films that had helped Malayalam cinema to have a great market outside Kerala as well.
