GRANDMASTER :: Box office collection update
GRANDMASTER may have lost the buzz around it during past coupleof weeks, but shall prove to be a profitable venture for its distributors, with a bit of help from the whopping satellite rightsamount which it managed to fetch. As per reports, it can now be confirmed that Surya TV has bagged the rights for as much as 4 Crores, however, in the initial stages it was widely believed that the price was much lesser.
The 5 week gross figure is about 6.98 Crores from Kerala, with the distributor share crossing 3 Crores comfortably.
GRANDMASTER took an initial which was pretty decent considering the genre to which it belongs to. But it evidently lost theboxoffice battle to MALLU SINGH and to DIAMOND NECKLACE during the later weeks, The unusually huge number of removals, coupled with a flush of new releases severely affected the collections after week 3.
The movie continues to run in just 17 screens in Week 6, and is expected to be removed from most of these when SPIRIT releases.
It is definitely a topic deserving anhealthy argument whether the rights amount fetched by the movie should be considered whilejudging their boxoffice status. While taking heed of the same, it needs to be understood that a product in the film industry does have multiple sources of inflow, and the film is being produced keeping an eye on all of these revenue streams.
It is a fact that, GRANDMASTER could have made it much bigger than it actually did. However, thereis no denying that fact that it earned more than industry average profits.

Ivory possession case against Mohanlal!
Along with P.N. Krishnakumar and N. Krishnakumar, Mohanlal has been declared as the first accused, in this case. The ivory was recoveredfrom Mohanlal's house in 2010, during an income tax raid. The officers also carried out various tests to confirm the authenticity of the recovered ivory, and registered the case under section 44(6) of the Indian Wildlife Act.
However, the other two accused already hold licences, given by theforest officials, to possess the Ivory. P.N. Krishnakumar and N. Krishnakumar say that they gave the trunks to Lal, when they had to move abroad for employment.

Mammootty in promo for Mohanlal's new film?
(IANS) They were on-screen rivals for long, but now off-screen it appears they have buried the hatchet as a promo of Mohanlal's newest film "Spirit" will feature Mammootty, boosting the marketing fortunes of the film.
The film, which was scheduled forrelease in the first week of June, is now delayed by 10 days to accommodate the promo shoot, asource close to director Renjith told IANS. "This delay is because Mammoottyis currently holidaying in Europe and is expected to be back here, early next month. Once he returns, he will do the promo to promote this Mohanlal film, whichfights the use of alcohol," said thesource, who didn't wish to be named. Renjith and Mohanlal have come together for a movie after 2007 film "Rock N' Roll", which bombedat the box office.
Initially, Renjith had zeroed in on Chief Minister Oommen Chandy and state Excise Minister K.Babu to do the promo, but later he decided to go for Mammootty, for obvious marketing reasons. Moreover, Mammootty, who madea 40-second film "Say No to Drinks; Say No to Drugs" as part ofa campaign by the excise department last year, has gone onrecord saying that he would try toavoid doing film scenes intended to promote the use of liquor and drugs.
Mammootty and Renjith have earlier worked together in films like "Pranchiyetan and The Saint" (2010) and "Palerimanikyam Oru Pathirakolapathakathinte Katha" (2009), which have kept Mammootty's flag flying high.
