Mallu sing :: Average opening

The much hyped and anticipated Mallu Singh has got off to a flying start at the boxoffice collecting almost 1.80 Crores in its opening weekend. The Kunchako Boban - Unni Mukundan starrer directed by Hit Maker Vyshakh released in 70 theaters on 4 May 2012. Though the film has not managedravishing reports, it has safely earned its name as a colourful engaging entertainer.
The opening day fetched the film a decent 60 Lakhs, and collectionspicked up slightly on the weekend. The word of mouth is not that encouraging, as it has been the cases with recently released masala entertainers. But the success of films of late have shown us that entertainment value works big time at the boxoffice, more than anything else. Mallu Singh had the potential for a much bigger opening had it got a solo release.
Mallu Singh shall definitely make it big at the boxoffice if it does not encounter disastrous fall in collections during the weekdays. The movie has provided much needed platform for upcoming Unni Mukundan, who may in future become a bankable star at the boxoffice, if he chooses his future projects wisely.
Mallu Singh is produced by Neeta Anto and distributed in Kerala by Anna Mega Media Release. The budget of the movie is touted to be anywhere between 6 - 6.25 Crores excluding printing and publicity.

Verdict:: Below Average
