Thalsamayam Oru Penkutty Collects 1.15 Crores

Thalsamayam Oru Penkutty directed by T K Rajeev Kumar shall end up as a below average fare, collecting just about 1.15 Crores in 24 days. Much to the surprise of the audience, the film, which was marketed as a slick and fast paced family entertainer, proved to be dry and a tad too long for the liking, and as a result, shall probably end up as a loss making venture for its makers.

The film released in 49 screens across Kerala, and managed to pull a half decent initial. The director was fresh from a run away Hit in the form of Rathinirvedam, and even the star cast seemed to have carried a momentum into the film, but could not formulate a product which would engage the audience. It collected about 75 lakhs in Week 1 and was removed from as many as 29 screens after 7 days, which had a huge impact in the footfalls during the second week.

Thalsamayam Oru Penkutty has managed to play 2200 shows in Kerala till now, and continues to run in 5 screens only in its 4th week. Yet another movie which has burnt the producers pocket.!!

VERDICT : FLOP
