The King is back
- IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,September 09 2014]
Just like the tag line of his latest film 'Rajadhiraja', Mammootty is having a sigh of relief after the release of the film. The movie which has opened up well in all centres has in fact ended the dearth of hits in the recent times from Mammootty camp. The only acknowledged hit of the star 'Immanuel' came back two years back.
Only films that worked well after this were 'Kammath and Kammath' and 'Daivathinte Swantham Cleetus' which just managed with a better initials and video and satellite rights. All other films from the star in the recent times were big flops and the last few didn't even managed to run to 25 days. The other releases of the year 'Silence', 'Balyakalasakhy' , 'Praise the Lord 'and 'Gangster' didn't even run a healthy two weeks in theatres which made many predict the doom of the megastar phenomenon in Mollywood.
Anyhow, the release of 'Munnariyippu' just before this Onam, completing 25 days this week, this movie has pulled back the megastar to commercial reckoning. And the latest by debutante director Ajai Vasudev' Rajadhiraja' is continuing in packed houses . The movie registered houseful shows in all the Onam days which will help the film to end up as commercial winner, first time for a Mammootty film in the last two years.
