‘Pokkiri Raja’, biggest hit so far

The only mass masala entertainer that came out this summer ‘Pokkiri Raja’ has created another box office history surpassing the record first week initial made by the muti-starrer ‘Twenty:20'. While Mammootty and Prithviraj flick collected distributors share of Rs 2 crore 25 lakhs in its opening week from 110 screens, ‘Twenty:20’ had it at 2.13 crores. The only movie with a stronger first week remains to be the last year's magnum opus ‘Pazhassi Raja’ which managed to bring in 4.85 crores in the first week.

As per trade sources ‘Pokkiri Raja’ has scored best in the north where the biggest share came at Kozhikode Apsara (Rs 8.75 lakh), followed by Kavita, Ernakulam (Rs 7.67 lakh) and Thiruvananthapuram (Rs 6.30 lakh). The trade analysts say that its is due to the convincing balancing between the two major stars, their onscreen camaraderie and the works of the two fans associations in tandem that has resulted in such a big success. Contrary to the most of the critical comments, ‘Pokkiri Raja’ seems to be one movie that has worked out of the expectations this year, creating its effects on 'Pappy Appacha' and 'In Ghost House Inn', which has lost out in earnings. ‘In Ghost House Inn’ has already pasted a countdown 100 days poster to lessen the audience loss.

‘Pokkiri Raja’ which was released in another 26 centres in out of the state has also opened reasonably well. The Tamilish takings and dialects widely used will also help the movie to bring in another 50 lakhs from the out of state centres. The movie is also expected to earn 2.40 crores as satellite rights. The movie has already brought in another one crore, while settling its other rights. And with the current scheme of things, the movie will bring in the capital spend on it in another 14 days on theatres. With no real competition form any new releases expected in this time period, ‘Pokkiri Raja’ will make better of the chances, this summer.

‘Pokkiri Raja’ wins hand down

In the fight for the vacation winner between M and M's of Mollywood, ‘Pokkiri Raja’ seems to have won the race hands down. The Mohanlal flick for the season ‘Alexander, The Great’, though was an inspiring attempt taking inspirations from the Oscar winner 'Rainman' somehow got out of competition from the day one. The Mohanlal fans were not even ready to take the film due to peculiar reasons, which made it a hold over in some centres of the north on the second day.

While 'Mammootty-Prithviraj' fan's combined strength has shown itself for ‘Pokkiri Raja’, as the film seems to have managed to satisfy the fans of both the stars. The extraordinary opening that the movie displayed at the Box Office has helped it to take a return around two crores producer share in the first week itself.

Meanwhile Sathyan Anthikkad's ‘Katha Thudarum’ has as usual, taken a slow start and is expected to grow with audience as days go by.

Mammootty, Prithviraj in Pokkiri Raja Review

Debutant director Vyshak, the assistant to hit directors Joshey and Johny Antony has brought out a movie which has the positive qualities of both directors. Vyshak has brought the richness of Tamil film to Malayalam, better than anyone who has tried that before.

Pokkiri Raja begins twenty years prior to the present time and the situation prompts Raja (Mammootty) to go in prison and then to Madurai five years later. He becomes a successful Goonda and grows in power and wealth. Fifteen years passed by, Raja takes a kottation to kill a man named Surya in Kerala, but later recognizes that it was his own blood brother. The first part of the film has importance to Prithviraj until the Mega star arrives. The punch dialogues in post interval session have made the audience go crazy with their love for the star.

Youth icon of the year Prithviraj as Mammootty's brother attracts the audience with his punching fists, dancing legs and comedy oriented dialogues. With this film he proved to be next only to the Big M's (in which ever order you place the 'M'). Shreya's debut into Malayalam as Prithviraj's heroine adds Oooooommps. The film doesn't have a single dull moment and will be enjoyable for family audience.

Salim Kumar as novelist Manoharan Mangolodayam and Suraj Venjarammoodu as Police officer work hand in hand to add fun to the scenes. Udayakrishna and Sibi K. Thomas proved yet another time that they remain unchallenged in the field since they know, what the movie going audience need. Visuals are beautifully enhanced from Shaji's camera. New editor Mahesh Narayanan is fast paced.

Music by Jassie Gift is fresh and moves every hip. B.G score by Rajamani is impressive. The film is done in a festive mood and keeps up with the standard and expectations it gave through the teasers.
