Varsham 4 Days Collection
Mammootty‘s latest outing, Varsham has opened on a decent note. The film who h releases on Thursday had a solo release and Iyobinte Pusthakam joined it on the next day. The film has grossed around 2.05 crore from 4 days (Till Sunday) and keeping the genre and budget this is satisfactory. The strategic promotion and worldwide release gave the film notable buzz and it helped in the opening. Being a small film, the simultaneous release should help the film to cover the budget but as a matter of box office we have to consider only the Kerala figures. Reportedly, it has earned a decent amount from overseas too but had to fight it with Vellimoonga in U.A.E, which also released on the same day. Down in Kerala the central areas like Kottayam, Alappuzha has underperformed but is doing good business in Trivandrum. But the surprise came from the Malabar region where it had good occupancies when we consider the unfavourable genre of the movie to the audience over there. There is a decent word of mouth for the movie and it should help the movie to hold in major centres to put up a good amount on week 1 and thereafter.
Verdict: Decent Opening.
