Kerala Top  movies as on 09/07/2016

1. Kasaba

This Megastar mass movie has taken Kerala box office by storm. After huge first day the film performed excellently on second day as well keeping the industrial pundit in a state of disbelief. Normally the mass movies used to face severe drop of thirty to forty percentage on day but this movie has turn in to an exception. Director Nithin Renji Panicker fills the vacuum of a mass action director. The so called present day new generation debutants adopted safe and soft route for the entry in to Mollywood but this young man recreates the heavy dose heroism of late nineties for his grand debut. Mammooty passes through one of the best ever box office days. The movie collected whopping 3.60 Cr in two days which is gigantic by any means. No doubt this film is heading for a record opening weekend of 7 Cr. We may have first genuine block buster of 2016 if this trend extends for entire week. Blockbuster opening

2. Shajahanum Pareekuttyum

Though WOM is mixed this Boban Samuel comedy is playing second fiddle to Kasaba at box office with decent occupancy.  The extra one day in the release is a shot in arm for this Kunchako Boban – jayasurya- Amala Paul flick. This film has collected an approx 2.95 Cr in three days. Good opening

3. Sultan

Salman Khan has created record in India in 2016 by raking up 100 Cr in three days and Kerala has its own share too in this by grossing 1.65 Cr in three days. Had a very good first day taking it consideration that it was released in around 50 screens only. Super opening

4. Anuraga Karikkin Vellam

Amidst the all the hue and cry of two biggies this film is rated as feel good movie which can appeal to the family audience. The presence of Biju Menon – Asha Sharath pair with Asif Ali along with a reputed production company, August film. The film has taken slow start but the good thing to report is that it is actually picking up. As far as WOM wise this film stands better than other contemporary ones. Collected around 1.25 Cr from around 77 screens in two days. Average opening

5. Karinkunnam sixes

Mass , Comedy , Family movies from Malayalam so why can’t we have a sports film to complete the Eid race ! Manju Warrier as the volley ball coach in a spirited sports film. Sidelined by other films. Still doubtful whether it can succeed because of a poor way of releasing. Roughly fifty odd screens and many of them are small ones. But has average WOM, how it can generate collection is the question mark ! Having below average opening with 1 Cr so far in three days
