The film which was completed in a budget of 3.10 crores will have to find another 1.6 crore as share, to break even. But as the film is steady in collections in at least 24 major centers and is registering fifty percent in the remaining centers, the film will bring in profits before it reaches a fifty day mark. And for a Lal film, who made a fantastic opening that is sure to happen.

Vinodayathra is the winner of this Vishu in all terms, as the film has already grossed 1.8 crore from its three weeks run. The film which was completed in a moderate budget just above 2.3 crore will make the distributors happy from next week itself. His film has long queue of families in all major centers and reservations for the next few days for the upper class are already completed.

The film is expected to make a profit of 1.2 crore from its fifty day run. The producer M M Hamsa, under the banner of Kalasangham, who has always been associated with big hits like Parakkum Thalika and Meesa Maadhavan, has again recreated his magic of being with safe earners.

Top five films of Vishu
IndiaGlitz [Saturday, April 21, 2007]



Finally, the initial results of the big fight for Vishu, is with us. As expected the superstar’s films and the family dramas are ruling the roost, while some films which gave big expectations couldn’t reach up to what they promised.

In the end of every filmi season, we often see family dramas which make long runs are the ones which becomes the biggest grosser. The biggest victory of this season is also a family film, where Sathyan Anthikkad has once again succeeded in reaping benefits from his magical narratives.

1. Vinodhayathra: The film which started of slowly, became the rage among families within a couple of days. The Meera Jasmine -Dileep chemistry and Mukesh -Dileep sequences, together with the subtle humor by Sathyan has made the film the favorite among the family audiences. The film which is registering 90 percent collections in almost all the centres is expected too make a 100 days run.

2. Big B: The first week of Big B saw great initials and the viewers are giving high rating for the film for its technical and narrative brilliance. As the film was completed in a budget of 2.7 crores, a modest one when compared with other superstar movies, the film is expected to cash in the returns within a house full run of four weeks.

Released in 50 centres, the film has managed to collect a share of 1.05 crores in the first six days. Running with 80 percent audience in all centres, every one are in the look out whether the collections will sustain in the coming days. As the family input into the movie is highly debatable, the film may face a drop in further weeks. But if it caters successfully to a family audience, then the film will register one of the biggest successes for Mammootty.

3. Chotta Mumbai: The film has one of the biggest initials for a Lal film in recent times. But when the other films came up with Vishu, a collection drop was seen. But now the film is going steady with a 75 percent in almost every centres. Bad mouth publicity has definitely affected the audience inputs. But the film is all set to reach hundred days, as it has become a prestige affair for the fans and the associated film buffs.

Kochi, May 2 (IANS) With all Vishu releases still going good, the surprise winner is director Sathyan Anthikad's "Vinodayathra".

The top five Malayalam films are:

1. "Vinodayathra" - Dileep appears as the protagonist in a Sathyan Anthikad film for the first time and the team clicks. The film has Meera Jasmine as the female lead. The right balance of humour and sentiment has worked well for the veteran director.

2. "Big B" - Amal Neerad, the young cameraman-turned-director, who has worked with the likes of Ram Gopal Varma, has succeeded in making a slick action thriller with Mammootty in the main lead.

3. "Chotta Mumbai" - Director Anwar Rasheed's second outing after "Rajamanickam" is an unpretentious entertainer with Mohanlal in the lead. Scriptwriter Benny P. Nayarambalam deserves equal credit for the success of the film.
