Top 5 movies as on 21/10/2016

1 Pulimurugan

Today is the 15^th day of Puli Murugan and it is crossing most prestigious land mark of any film 10,000 shows in Kerala in its fourteen and half days of run. Normally it takes minimum four weeks time to reach this feat. All time block buster Premam crossed the ten thousand shows on 22^nd day of its release. Murugan has unprecedented run in Kerala and also rest of India. There are umpteen number of records it has broken and it is certain that this Mohanlal’s visual mass movie will be the  highest grosser of Mollywood beating his own Drishyam. 50 Cr gross from Kerala alone is looking just a matter of time to achieve. Drishyam set the record in its long 175 days continues run while Murugan is very close to Drishyam within 14 days itself. Admitted Malayalam cinema never witnessed 600 plus shows even on for the opening but Murugan continued it 700 plus journey for 11 days and currently having 600 plus to its credit. The movie has romped home an extra ordinary 39.78 Cr in 14 days in around 190 screens. Just monitoring eagerly whether it can surpass Drishyam Kerala gross by this weekend itself!

2. Thoppil Joppan

Apart from above average Saturday and good Sunday Joppan had a dull week at box office. The above average WOM and Mammootty factor could not provide enough assistance at box office in the week days. But the film is in the safe zone with rights. It has grossed around 11.15 Cr in two weeks which is reasonable considering the fact that it had to face a ‘wave’ film on the other side. The director Johny was candid enough to admit that Joppan benefited from Murugan.

3. Kavi Udheshichathu

It has survived the heat of two other but hold to around 60 plus screens with decent occupancy in the evening shows. The above average to good WOM would help in getting handsome rights since Biju menon and Asif Ali have has a reasonable fan following. Collects around 3.45Cr in two weeks.

4. Oppam

Entering to 50^th day week in around 50 plus screens. Crossed over to 13,000 shows in 43 days run with a collection of 37. 75 Cr . The world wide collection has crossed 50 Cr figure which one of biggest achievement of this film at the box office. From India itself it has collected 40 Cr plus. Since it is an 50 days week many of the exhibitors have shown their gratitude by making it a comeback release in several screens. They can have the success memento , so who wants to lose it  !

5. No film this week 

Hope we  can fill position next week.
