‘Kelkkatha Shabdham’ the new Prithviraj starrer started in 25 centres all across the state, yesterday.

Since the state was having a total harthal of 12 hours on the release day, the film opened only with the evening shows.

The film is the dubbed version of the recent super hit of Prithviraj in Tamil ‘Sathumpodaathey’. Directed by Vasanth, the film has Padmapiya in the female lead.

The film is of much interest, as this is first dubbing film of Prithviraj to get released in the state.

As his new release ‘Chocolate’ is running pretty good in the state to become a mega hit, trade pundits are in the lookout to see whether this new release will hamper the immense running prospects of ‘Chocolate’.
