Though the movie dropped in collections during subsequent weeks, the distributor share along with the satellite and other state rights are good enough to earn the movie excellent profits considering the trade scenario. COBRA is a HIT.

Ashiq Abu's latest venture 22 FEMALE KOTTAYAM created waves in Kerala with its boldness and slick presentation.
