COBRA opens well - 2.8 Crores Gross in Opening Weekend (4 Days) - Boxoffice Collection Update

Megastar Mammootty's COBRA has opened well at the Kerala Boxoffice grossing about 2.80 Crores in 4 days of release. The movie released on 12 April in 73 screens in Kerala to mixed reviews from the critics and viewers. The satellite rights of the movie is bagged by Surya TV, and the price is rumoured to be around 3.25 Crores. Lal, Lalu Alex, Padmapriya and Kaniha also play important roles in the film.

The good opening which the film has managed to obtain ensures that the film is a safe venture for its distributor - Play House, as COBRA has already started earning profits, which is rarely seen in Mollywood. The fact that COBRA has grossed well despite heavy competitions from a startling MAYAMOHINI, a rock steady ORDINARY, and also 22 FEMALE KOTTAYAM, which is slowly picking up with excellent reviews, shows the Star Power of Mammootty.

If the film manages to obtain half decent collections during the weekdays, it can be rest assured COBRA will be a HIT. But the recent history has many examples, where films have taken excellent openings, but have fallen badly when the word of mouth spreads. Therefore the 2nd week remains Pivotal for COBRA's success. The film has completed 1168 shows in 4 days.

VERDICT : GOOD OPENING, SAFE VENTURE
