Padmasree Bharat Dr Sarojkumar, the satirical comedy film directed debutant Sajin Raghavan, starring Sreenivasan and Mamta Mohandas has managed to Gross a total collections of about 1.38 Crores from 30 days of theatrical run in Kerala. The movie released in 64 screens in Kerala on 14th January 2011, to Below Average - Negative reviews from critics as well as the viewing public.The movie gained much negative publicity, when reports were circulated that, it contained heavy criticism of the Superstars of Malayalam film industry, but even such an indirect boost could not save the film from incurring losses to its distributors. The first week gross of the movie was close to 95 lakhs, which is pretty decent considering the fact the film did not have any top heroes in it, but due to the poor word of mouth, on which such movies rely heavily, it could not build on that initial.
The satellite rights shall fetch the producer around 1 - 1.25 Crores, however no official news is available on this yet. The trade believes that the movie has earned of share of 68 lakhs from theaters, which along with the satellite and audio rights put together, still will not be enough to recover its cost of about 2.60 Crores.
VERDICT : FLOP
