Binu S shot to fame with his first film Ithihasa which has Shine Tom Chacko in the lead role. The flick has been a surprise hit and the comedy fantasy story told by him was accepted by the audience with applause. The making style of the film had got great appreciation as well. Now he is coming with his second film named Style and it will release on January 2, 2016. The film is coming with a tag line of “Mollywood’s first cliche movie in 2016!” and it already caught the attention of the audience with its superb trailer.

Unni Mukundan and Tovino Thomas playing the lead characters in this film and it is said to be a career changing film for both the actors. Unni Mukundan plays the hero named Tom in this film and Tovino Thomas plays the villain named Edgar. The film has stars like Balu Varghese, Vijaya Raghavan etc and the female lead is a Mumba based model named Priya Ghandwal.

The flick is said to be an out and out action thriller but will have all the elements to entertain even the family audience as well. Yet, the main aim of the film is to make the youngsters thrill with high octane action sequences, chases etc. Unni Mukundan’s mass look and Tovino’s hot look already went viral in social medias as well.

The flick had earlier planned as a Christmas release but due to the theater strike that happened, a flurry of releases came and style had to postpone its date to January 2. Let’s hope that this New Year will be a stylish year for the team behind Style and hope that it will turn a mass hit among the youth.

Loham still at the top with 2.54 first day gross from Kerala ?

Social media was debating only one issue in last few days and it is about the first day collection record of Loham and Charlie. Loham made history this year by earning 2.14 crores from its first day from Kerala and surpassed the record made by Mohanlal’s Casanovva in 2011. Casanovva had earned rupees 2.10 crore from its first day. Loham released in 141 screens had surpassed that record this year Onam season.

Now Charlie had released in 114 screens reportedly broke that record by a small margin of 4 lakhs rupees as it had earned 2.18 crore from its first day as per initial reports. Then start the fan war and hot discussions in social media about the truth behind Charlie collections and all that. But now it seems all clear as the producer/distributor Antony Perumbavoor told to Malayala Manorama that the first day collection of the film Loham is a whopping 2.54 crores and still the flick ruling the record books in style.

Only distributor can give the correct collection record of a film. In the case of Loham, it is financed under the banner of Ashirvad Cinemas and it was distributed by Maxlab which is also owned by the production team. So when the sources close to them gives the figure of their film’s collection we have to accept it. Charlie had reportedly earned above 2 crore for sure from its first day and it is a big thing for a young star like Dulquer Salmaan. He is the only Mollywood star to cross the 2 crore mark in first day other than the Mohanlal who had done it twice.

0

Actor/director Padma Kumar, who had won the state award for his film My Life Partner this year had posted a photo on his Facebook timeline yesterday. It was a photo which shows he is touching the feet of superstar Mohanlal as he was seeking the blessings from the legend before he was receiving the state award from the honorable Chief Minister of Kerala. He said that he touching the feet of not just an actor but the future history of Malayalam cinema. That photo and his words were went viral in social media but some people had commented bad words about Mohanlal below that photo shared by Padma Kumar. Today, he had come with a perfect and open reply to those Mohanlal haters.

Mohanlal, Director padma kumar, Mohanlal haters, posts against Mohanlal, Mohanlal latest news,

Padma Kumar said that he had posted many photos and statuses in his Facebook timeline before as well. But never got such an attention, likes, comments and shares for those ones. But the photo he posted yesterday with Mohanlal was really went viral in all sense and that was not his power, but the magic of Mohanlal’s charisma and impact among malayalees. He said that he did not know Mohanlal personally. But like many of us he was influenced by the charismatic personality and amazing talent of this artist more than anyone.

He said that when he got the chance to act with Mohanlal in M.Padma Kumar directorial film Shikkar, he was really felt the fear to share screen space with Mohanlal as he doubted whether he can even stand with the legend who lives in front of the camera as the character. So he decided to quit from that film. That much is his admiration for Mohanlal.

He says that haters can say anything but Mohanlal is bigger than or above all that criticisms. He is like an epic in Indian Cinema and the criticism by these critics cannot have any value in front of such a great personality. He said that no one in Kerala will want to lend their ears to such criticisms on Mohanlal ever as they love this man as a great person and great artists more than anyone here.

Padma Kumar says that he touched the feet Mohanlal only because he can never dream of seeing the top of this artist who is bigger than anything in this world with his talent and he can only see the roots of this living legend. He ended his replay by saying that Mohanlal will be the future history of Malayalam cinema which can be proudly presented before the whole world and his attempt to touch the feet and seek the blessing of this man is just an effort to make a dream into reality as he saw the people’s uncontrollable craze towards him which no other actor here can even think of.
