As expected the superstar films of the season
started off with flying colors in the box office. The top five movies
in the hit charts are:
1.'Kurukshetra' - The biggest
release ever in Mollywood, ‘Kurukshetra' is keeping its spirits high
with good initial collections and good word of mouth. The movie is
expected to creative collection records in the opening weeks. In many
of the metros the film is being shown in three centers while seven
towns have the movie in two centers. The movie is currently
entertaining packed houses in around 111 centers. Mohanalal is again
into one of his best role’s in recent times, living as colonel
Mahadevan.
2. 'Mayabazaar'- After a big first
week, the interest shown on the film is gradually coming down. The
Mammootty factor is the only positive thing in the movie which is
already written off by the critics as a bitter movie. Majority of the
viewers are in the view that the unimpressive scripts by TA Razaaq have
spoiled the entire proceedings. The movie is registering 60-80 percent
collections in major centers. The great opening week collections due to
the continuous holidays, and release in eighty odd centers will help
the movie to end up in between an average earner and a hit.
3. ‘Parthan Kanda Paralokam' -
Another movie that is handicapped by inane scripting, 'Parthan Kanda
Paralokam' benefits majorly due to its timing of the release. The movie
which has been shifting its release for the last six months now had
opened to safe collections due to the continuous holidays and
celebration mood of Ramzan and then Pooja holidays. This Jayaram
starrer will also end up as an average earner.
4. ‘Veruthe Oru Bharya’ - Jayaram’s
return movie 'Veruthe Oru Bharya’ is still holding to fourth position,
even after two months in theatres. The movie continues in select
theatres all across Kerala, and is expected to end up as a mega hit.
5. ‘Thirakatha' - Renjith’s flick
on tinsel town had very good word of mouth. But the movie, even after
great reviews didn't got lucky to end up as a hit. The movie makers
will have to satisfy themselves, as the movie will get to safer side of
collections for its producers. ‘Thirakkatha’ is now into its fifth week
Also running in the theatres are Jayaraj's
‘Gulmohur’, Lenin Rajendran's ‘Rathri Mazha' and Madhupal's
‘Thalappavu' with average collections.
