Bavutti Wins Xmas Boxoffice Battle

BAVUTTIYUDE NAMATHIL leads the battle for boxoffice supremacy, among the films released during pre-Christmas weekend. Reports suggest that despite trailing KARMAYODHA, in the initial weekend, by a good distance, Bavuttiyude Namathil marches ahead with positive reports all over the state. 

The Mammootty starrer had a decent first week of 2.60 Crores from 66 theaters in Kerala, and the second week is expected to earn another 1.75-1.80 Crores as per early estimates. Though Karmayodha did a bit better in the first week with 2.66 Crores gross, the collections have heavily imploded since day 3 for the venture. Ashiq Abu's DA THADIYA has earned good response from the viewing public, and is slowly becoming a safe venture for the makers, the first week gross being just above 2 Crores from 54 theaters.
