Mohanlal - Prithviraj Pan Indian Dream Empuran Crashes

Prithviraj- Mohanlal’s dream to be the Yash- Prabhas and Rajamouli- Prasanth Neel of Malaylam filmdom and be the first duo to be makers of a Pan Indian film through L2 Empuran has failed miserably. For Mohanlal , he has notched yet another box office record of being the first Malayalam film to enter Rs 100 crores club in two days and that it beat Aadujeevitham starring Prithviraj. Sacnik puts the worldwide net at Rs 64 crores. Take look at this post and it is summary of Sacnik figures Kerala opening was Day 1- Rs 14cr and Day 2- Rs 9 cr. As Eid comes in we can expect a jump in the North Kerala areas. Similarly in GCC too the collections will soar. Just yesterday, Salman Khan said that Hindi film heroes films are not patronized by South filmgoers and they prefer to watch their own heroes and so no Hindi film can be Pan Indian like a Baahubali or KGF. He said that personally he is acceptable to South Superstars and even people call him Bhai Bhai but they do not patronize his films. This is the case with Malayalam films too.

Post Empuran, the top 5 openers in Kerala box office have three non Malayalam films. Look at Empuran box office in neighboring South States. Unlike Salman, Mohanlal has acted with Vijay- Surya- Kamal Haasan in Tamil and with NTR Jr in Telugu. All of thee films had a good response. As Gokulam Gopalan and Mohanlal are facing fury, hate posts pour in. Prithviraj has been asked to go for re-certification. In case of film Marcos, too the Thrivanthapuram Censor Regional officer was caught off guard. After a backlash, he asked for a non certification of the film to be screened for TV audience. By them everybody had seen it inOTT platforms. Sanghis in the board are trying to wriggle by saying word Godhra has not been used but it is obvious that the incident is the base. Falling for Murali Gopy’s talk, Mohanlal who is said to be a Modi sympathizer and Producer Gopalan who runs a host of financial companies have a lot to lose if BJP feels offended. Mercifully Hindi version has not caught the eye of Balrang Bali and other Hindu activists. One section are laughing as some time back Mulim Groups were asking for a ban on Kerala Story and same censors gave 30 cuts to their own Kangana’s Emergency.
