Tomorrow the film starring Mohanlal named Kanal is releasing all over India. It is directed by M Padmakumar and scripted by Suresh Babu who had come together in 2010 with Mohanlal to give a super hit name Shikkar. That team is all set to rock the screens of Kerala from tomorrow.

The film is not created much hype before the release as usual Mohanlal films. Usually Mohanlal films creates mega mass hype and unbelievable anticipation level in Kerala. But Kanal may be due to its subject or making style, does not made that much hype hype. And the film is releasing in a tight releasing time when many films alredau running successfully and some more films coming next day as well. Still it got 106 screens in Kerala alone and 190 screens all over India. That is Mohanlal for you.

Kanal Theater List-Mohanlal-Anoop Menon

A low hyped film of him releasing in a tight time getting screens like that it is releasing in a festival season and we have to mind the fact also that many other big stars film in Kerala don’t even gets 100 screens for their festival movie in a festival time as well. That makes this man Mohanlal many levels apart from other super stars in our industry.

The huge fan base of him assures great initial to his films and even form the first weekend collection most of his films ends up financially safe. He is also the one who gets the maximum value in satellite right market as well. His last two films Loham and Ennum Eppozhum become box office success due to this terrific star value of him even after got mixed reviews and failed to satisfy neutral audience.

John David, the character he played in Kanal was said to be one which exploit his mastery over the under acting method and on which is using his skill set as an actor rather than aimed at the fan base he has here.

Domination of Tamil films on decline in Mollywood

0

Before the start of this year there was a trend in Malayalam cinema industry that big budget Tamil films dominated the proceedings here. Big Tamil films come here and take away great number of screens for its release and then plunder our box office collections as well. People were also behind such films from Tamil which is made on a big budget and Tamil stars like Vijay, Surya, Vikram etc were followed here just like Malayalees following Mammootty and Mohanlal. Tamil young actors found more fans here for them meanwhile the young stars of Malayalam film industry just looked out of source to match with them. But from this year the trends changed quite dramatically here in Mollywood as we are seeing a drastic decline of the market for Tamil cinema here in Mollywood now.

The first big film came this year was Shankar directorial film Ai starred by Vikram. Even though the film made a good collection here due to the curiosity it developed among the audience about its three year shoot and the dedication level of Vikram, totally the film received only average to below average opinion here from the audience. Then came the big film Masss starred by Suriya, directed by Venkat Prabhu. That bombed at box office here and bowed down before Malayalam film named Premam starred by Nivin Pauly.

In July came Kamal Haasan starrer Papanasam which was the Tamil version of Mollywood’s biggest hit Drishyam starred by Mohanlal. But it did not make much business here even though was a hit in Kollywood. Then films like Dhanush’s Maari, Ilayathalapathy Vijay starrer Puli came and now another Vikram starrer 10 Enradhukulla. All received bad opinion and has not made any impact in box office collections. The most heartening fact is that all these movies bowed down before different Malayalam films.

Malayalam cinema industry is now going through a great period as well with each week we are getting quality films and people have to choose from it. That’s a great sign for Malayalam cinema. Leading stars like Mammootty, Mohanlal and young stars like Prithviraj and Nivin Pauly are giving commercial successes along with other actors as well.

Even though some good films like Thani Oruvan, Kakka Muttai came from Kollywood to Mollywood this year, they could not make any impact here. The case of Telugu films is the same except Baahubali which was treated more of as an epic Indian film than a Telugu masala flick. This trend is going good and as a lover of Malayalam films each and every Malayalee is wishing the same.Malayalam cinema is now the first preference for us and all other language films are only a priority that can be easily avoidable now.

Alankrita taught Prithviraj patience

0

The young superstar of Mollywood Prithviraj is busy receiving good reports for his successful projects in theaters and movie lovers are enjoying this amazing moments. In this busy schedule he has managed to answer the questions of media in a recent interview where he revealed the reason of his change. And this amazing personality has credited his daughter Alankrita that she has been the person behind what Prithviraj the way he is now. The actor detailed the statement by mentioning that the angry person in him was thrown out by Alankrita, bringing out the human in him who is full of love and care. These words really show how much Prithviraj is connected to his family and love his daughter. In the statement he has even pointed out that his daughter is a daddy’s girl.

Prithviraj also says that before Alankrita was born he was that person who was always angry, disturbed and impatient. Pointing out a situation from his life, he continues that after the tough, tiring shooting schedules when he was sleeping or resting he never liked anyone to disturb as he used to shout at them with full of anger. But now it is different, he says that now after Alankrita has come to his life she has always been there when am sleeping and she disturbs me, I never get angry.

Instead he feels more loved when she comes near him and that’s what changed it all. It’s like Alankrita has successfully changed the perspective of Prithviraj in every way as it is really evident in these course of time. As we all know, children are the epitome of innocence and love. And children are capable of making a person matured and understanding others. So the credit completely goes to the daddy-daughter, Alankrita.

And we truly believe that this change is all because of the innocence we see in this little child. Also Alankrita has made some effect on her father Prithviraj as he is on his back to back successful ventures. Like his latest movies Ennu Ninte Moideen and Amar Akbar Antony which are running successfully in theatres with houseful status. Alankrita is a much talked and discussed daughter celebrity in social networking sites when her first picture was posted by her father Prithviraj himself. This picture was from a photo shoot of a leading magazine. This picture was a much celebrated one in social networking sites that it was trending massively and was the talk of the M-town.

Mohanlal

Kanal Malayalam Movie-Stills-Photos-Mohanlal-Anoop Menon
For every Malayalees, the name Mohanlal is enough to watch a film as he had become such a key part in their life and habits. Mohanlal film always attracts Malayali audience irrespective of its genre or another facts related to that film. He is like a magnet that attracts Malayalees to the cinema halls and that is why there is no wonder why he is still the biggest crowd puller Malayalam film had ever seen in its history. Like one critic said sometime back, Mohanlal had become a part of basic needs of a Malayali life just like they want food, water, shelter etc as he had become a habit and emotion for them which they never want to control.

M Padmakumar-Suresh Babu team

The writer-director pair of Suresh Babu and M Padma Kumar is making this film a much awaited one as their previous outing with Mohanlal in 2010 was a success named Shikkar which also told a suspense thriller story. So naturally when the same tea, joins together for another thriller, expectation rises.

Mohanlal- Anoop Menon team

Mohanlal and Anoop Menon had united in almost 5 films including Kanal and almost all the time they had given us good films whether they have lot of scenes together or not. Pakal Nakshathrangal, Rock n Roll, Pranayam, Grandmaster are the 4 films they acted together. In this apart from Rock N Roll, all remaining 3 were either critically well appreciated or commercially successful. So Kanal also gives hope due to this pair.

Trailers and Teaser

The first look motion poster which came first gave a hope. The teaser which came later raised it. The first trailer which come after it again made the hopes to raise. But the two songs which later came was not much impact and the hopes had begun to fall. But the second trailer came yesterday again raised the hope and now it seems that everybody is waiting for it.

Mohanlal’s negative shade character

Kanal Malayalam Movie-Stills-Photos-Mohanlal-Anoop Menon
One of the factor that made it an anticipated film was the report that Mohanlal is playing a character with negative shade in this film. He is always gives great performance when it comes to characters with a negative touch and his amazing under acting abilities can once again become the highlight of this film.

10 Enradhukulla Review

0

10 Enradhukulla, the Chiyaan Vikram starrer flick had released all over today and in Kerala also it got a fairly good release with many centers. There is always a notion among the film lovers that without Shankar. Vikram as a star had not much value in Kollywood and here as well. Everybody knows that he is a great actor and his commitment and dedication level to his work is damn too high. But he never really able to convert it into stardom as many others had done in Tamil film industry. And this time Chiyaan Vikram had teamed up with Vijay Milton for the above mentioned film and all set to strike with a super racy film as the claims it to be. Vijay Milton himself had written the story, screenplay and also cranked the camera as well. The flick has been financed by AR Murugadoss and Fox star studios.

Vikram comes in this film as a professional car driver who does daredevil car stunts and who never misses any assignments given to him. The major turn of events in the story happens when Vikram’s nameless character undertakes a journey with Shakkeela, the character played by Samantha. Villains of the film comes in the story one by one with their own motives and Pashupathy’s character provides some funny moments as well with his mannerisms. The journey they undertook is from Chennai to Mussoorie form the major part and idea of the story. But the second half of the film stretched here and there and the climax part was also looked stretched more than what it was needed.

Vikram done a cool job as the car driver who is a master at daredevil car stunts and Samantha also looks cute and will attract youngsters with her appearance and naughty character. The action sequences were choreographed well but the VFX part was not very much upto the mark. The narration also looked not much convincing at many parts and the songs my D imman was raised only to an average level. The placement of songs really killed the flow of the film as well specially the one with Charmi Kaur. The screenplay not has much depth in it and as a director Vijay Milton’s grip was not fully on the narration as well. But as a cameraman he gave some good visuals.

As a whole 10 Enradhukulla is only an average affair for Vikarm Fans and he can deliver better as per his standards.

Director : Vijay Milton
Release Date : 21/10/2015
Cast : Vikram, Samantha

Siddique-Lal combination came to the scene by writing the screenplay of Mohanlal- Sathyan Anthikkad film Pappan Priyappetta Pappan in 1986. They had written the story of Mohanlal-Sreenivasan-Sathyan Anthikkad super hit Nadodikattu in 1987 as well. Their first film as directors came in 1989 titled as Ramji Rao Speaking which was a great success. Another interesting facts about Siddique-Lal films is that they always used English titles for their film and not even a single Malayalam title till now. The new film also follows the same path with the title King Liar.

This film King Liar tells the story of a person named Sathya Narayanan who is the master of lies and the incidents happens in his life. Sathya Narayanan’s character is played by Dileep. The financer of the film is ouseppachan Valakkuzhy who had associated with this pair from their starting time in mollywood and it was he who brought back this pair together again.

Ennu Ninte Moideen surpassed Pazhassiraja and Twenty 20 in total gross !

0

Ennu Ninte Moidden is going in a cruising mode as far as the box office collections is concerned. From the last estimated figures we got it says that the film had crossed 29 + crore rupees in 30 days. But that is only the collection from Kerala. The rest of India collection is estimated to be around 3-4 crore rupees and that makes its gross up to 32 crore. Mammootty film Pazhassiraja and Multi-star hit Twenty 20 had got a total revenue including worldwide collection around 30 crore.

As per reports the total revenue of Pazhassiraja including the rights of the film it is 32 crores and for Twenty 20 it is 33 crore. When calculating it Ennu Ninte Moideen is already surpassed Pazhassiraja and Twenty 20 collection by a narrow margin. But the film is still running. Now Ennu ninte Moideen is at the 4th spot in the list of all-time top grossers of Malayalam cinema history which is led by Drishyam which got 75 crore revenue (66 crore worldwide gross + 8-9 crores from various rights), Premam which got 60 crores (50 crores worldwide collection and 9-10 crores through various rights) and Bangalore Days which got 48 crores (39 crores from worldwide collections and 8-9 crores from various rights).

Prithviraj starrer Amar Akbar Anthony which has Indrajith and Jayasurya as well is posing threat to Ennu Ninte Moideen now in box office as the latest film is getting good reviews and more occupancy status than Moideen. The collection is dropping surely but not in a drastic manner. But by this weekend it can drop a little bit as well because of the release of Mohanlal starrer Kanal and Aashiq Abu Directorial Rani Padmini.

Now the target of Ennu Ninte Moideen will be to beat Bangalore Days collection which is around 38 crores and in total revenue status which is 48 crores. It possible that it can come close to Premam total revenue as well but looks difficult from the outset. Anyway let’s wait and see how Ennu Ninte Moideen fares in the box-office in the coming weeks.
