A movie which average WOM with Super Stars in it likely to do a better business in Mollywood. An average business in total with a hit status. But you are facing a scenario where in two films which was released last week with major stars facing drought at box office during the heavy rain season.
Super Star Mohanlal and Super Lady Star Manju warrior has their own fandom . Kanal and Rani Padmini released in last week with much fanfare. Kanal which has Mohanlal in the lead was rated as average and Manju�s Rani Padmini got above average WOM. Mohanlal starrer opened to reasonable to good level but suddenly fell sharply at box office causing disbelief among the pundits of the industry . Should remember that in this film Mohanlal in semi negative role and makers might have expected public to receive it well. But result is contrary to their perception. In its first week the film collects around 3.40 Cr which is less than below average since it has released in large number of screens. May add another 1 Cr from box office creating huge loss for the makers in theatrical sense. Mohanlal faces a successes and failures in consecutive films in 2015.
Ashique Abu�s Rani Padmini was treated as the dark horse of the season with huge expectation due to teaming up of most talented actress like Manju and Reema. The reviews were good and thumps up from social network and a big bang in box office was due but to the dismay to the makers it carried on average collection in the weekend to face rapid drop in collection in weekdays with hold over threats.Collected around 2.30 in its first week which is reasonable in trade sense but future does not look bright at box office. Average grosser to Flop may be the final result.
Actually the trend of 2015 so far indicates one notable factor. When a blockbuster is in rock mod in the screens the films which releases in subsequent week may feel the heat of the fire. While the Premam was running successfully it damaged other movies Evide and Niranayakam . Moideendefeated the Jossuty . Now we have Amar Akbar Anthony with Pathemarytaking the major share of the box office creating hurdles in front of the new movies. One success gives few failures , a new trend?
Amar Akbar Anthony heading towards another easy 20 plus Crore business film. In its two weeks the film has grossed 14.50 Cr which absolutely fantastic. Massive show increase in major town and sustaining well even in weekdays. The first choice of all section of audience! From classic film to mass entertainer Prithiviraj proves that he is the real star with variety in 2015, two blockbusters in his credit. Moideen still holds on well at box office passing 32 Cr in 40 days. Pathemari after taking a beat due to new releases coming back strongly and has collected around 7.50 Cr in three weeks.
