Ohm Shanthi Oshaana & 1983 - Box Office Update

The hit parade continues in Mollywood and after a disappointing start we got 2 hits in 2 weeks, both starring Nivin Pauly. '1983' which released on Jan 31st and OSO on Feb 7th have turned profitable for makers (or will pretty soon) from theatrical alone. The good trend that Drishaym and OIPK started is continuing through these films.

OSO has grossed about 6.50 crores from All India Box Office, acccording to latest reports, with Kerala contributing with about 5.5-5.75 crores and Rest Of India doing 75 lakhs plus. The film had an outstanding run outside Kerala, and is still running. The new found interest towards Malayalam film and market, thanks to Drishyam, was capitalized well by the movie as it is one of the biggest grosser ROI considering the names associated with it. Special credits also to Fox Star India, for taking such ventures and giving them a proper release with enough publicity [OSO got one of the biggest release outside Kerala] - Super Hit

'1983' even though moderately promoted had worked magic thanks to the super positive Word of Mouth. The film has grossed more than 5.5 crores so far - HIT

Drishyam - All Time Blockbuster - Exclusive 27 days Box Office Update

Drishyam - All Time Blockbuster - Exclusive 27 days Box Office Update

Drishyam have completed 27 days @ Kerala Box Office and already its the 2nd biggest grosser of all time. The is the biggest non-mulistar movie beating Dileep's Mayamohini. The only film that's in front of Drishyam is the Mega Multi-Starrer 'T20' which featured the entire Malayalam film industry. The film is raking in moolah despite 2 big Tamil releases (one which also features Mohanlal). The film didn't show any dip in collections even once the X'mas holiday got over. Instead the weekends, holidays, & even in Weekdays evening-night shows of the film were complete sold out with theaters forced to add more shows and screens. 

The film has revived the B class theaters many of which were on the brink of extinction with one of the longest run in such small centers. They didn't remove the film even for a gigantic film like Jilla [Featuring mass heartthrobs Mohanlal & Vijay] which was the usual case in Kerala. The film is already the biggest hit in Res of India and overseas with Bangalore & Gulf grossing twice or thrice more than the previous biggest hits.
