Megastar Mammootty's last release of the year ‘Chattambinaadu’ opened in 80 centres today. The movie directed by Shafi has Mammootty in a varied style and hairdo as a Kannadiga named Veerendra Mallaya. The initial response of the movie is very positive as the first show viewers opines the movie to be in the league of ‘Rajamanickyam’ and ‘Mayavi’, which were big hits with the masses. The screenplay and loneliness are getting heavy claps from the theatres though the songs by Alex Paul are opined to be below average.

Most of the theatres in Kerala registered full houses in the opening shows. And with such a favourable opinion, Mammootty is sure to end the year with a positive note.
