2013 Malayalam Boxoffice Report

It is that time of the year when the trade analysts and boxoffice followers are eager to appraise how the industry has performed during the first half of the year. Here comes BOV with its trademark half yearly report for 2013.

Out of a total of 85 releases, 13 films have managed to break even, 10 films were Flops, and all the other 62 films were declared Boxoffice Disasters. 2013 is yet to present Mollywood with an outright Blockbuster, but has produced 2 Super Hits and 8 Hits till now.

SUPER HITS

ROMANS is the run-away winner of the year till now with a life time gross of 10.94 Crores, which is yet to be surpassed this year. The film ran for 50+ days in 29 theaters, and was declared a Super Hit within 3 weeks of release. 

The dark horse of the first half has been Alphonse Puthren's bilingual starring Nivin Pauly - NERAM. The film made in a shoestring budget raked in 5.85 Crores and is the second most profitable movie of the first half.


HITS

KAMMATH & KAMMATH
Gross : 10.34 Crores
The multi-starrer secured a thunderous initial as expected and cashed in on the wide release. Though the mixed opinion caused wide removals from the 4th week, the film had grossed enough to be declared a clean hit.

SOUND THOMA
Gross : 10.13 Crores
Dileep continued to stamp his authority over Mollywood Boxoffice with the stupendous success of SOUND THOMA. The film gave director Vyshakh his fourth consecutive hit.

IMMANUEL
Gross : 7.34 Crores
The Lal Jose family entertainer carried the best word of mouth among the Vishu releases and finished with the highest solo film gross for a Mammootty starrer after Best Actor in 2010.

HONEY BEE 
Gross : 7.19 Crores (24 Days)
Honey Bee went on a roll amongst the youth audience, and held up big time to secure the second solo success for Asif Ali after Salt N Pepper. The potential Super Hit shall in all probabilities, end up with a lifetime gross of 8.50 - 9 Crores.

ABCD
Gross : 6.45 Crores (17 Days)
ABCD marked Dulquar Salman's arrival as a Mass Hero who can pull off a commercial movie on his shoulders. The film managed to open big and continued to perform well despite heavy rains.

The other movies which were declared a HIT by the trade are MUMBAI POLICE (6.42 Crores), BHARYA ATHRA PORA(4.83 Crores) and CELLULOID (4.57 Crores). AMEN (5.47 Crores) had a stupendous run at the boxoffice, but finally ended up in the  ABOVE AVERAGE category, due to the high cost of production. DRACULA (2.85 Crores) and NEE KO NJA CHAA (2.35 Crores) were the other film which managed to break even.

The notable failures of the year are LADIES & GENTLEMAN, 3 DOTS, RED WINE and HOTEL CALIFORNIA.

Onam Malayalam Box Office Review: Cleetus Versus Sringara Velan

Onam Malayalam Box Office Review:  Cleetus Versus Sringara Velan

Its clea

rly Cleetus versus Sringara velan this onam.The box office has been ringing for both these movies but the mixed reaction

coming in for Sringara velan gives the edge toDaivathinte Swantham Cleetus to first spot among Onam release.
This years Onam came with 5 major release First came MegaStar Mammootty's
Daivathinte Swantham Cleetus it started of slowly but gained momentum in the box Office later in the week.
Benny P Nayarambalam's script succeeded in satisfying the fans and also the family audience waiting for a clean entertainer
for this festive season. It turned out to be a completely Mammootty's show.
Then came Janapriya Nayakan Dileep's Sringaravelan.. it opened very well among the family audiences and it gave a great opening
But the movie came with Mixed reactions and hence its long run is still a question mark, butDileep is known to bring out blockbusters from these kind of movies which came be seen from his recent hits .It has been giving a good competition to Daivathinte Swantham Cleetus.

Fahadh's North 24 Kaatham opened very poorly but the movie got a steady response by the mid week but the movie could not compete with the mass of Daivathinte Swantham Cleetus and Sringara velan.
Fahadh's performance and Anil Radhakrishnan's off-beat theme has been bringing in good response slowly but steadily. The word of mouth coming in and may help in cities but chances are rare to gain momentum in the rural parts.

Multistarrer D Company and MT- Hariharan team's Ezhamathe Varavu have washed away completely None of these have been able to do a decent business.
