It's Your Voice - II

 
 
It's Your Voice is back with a bang.! Here we go.!

 

Q : Who is the most bankable star in Malayalam Cinema today ?

A : Dileep. It is partially due to the fact that Dileep has stuck to the usual formula which has worked for him all these days. Openings are more or less guaranteed, if his films are marketed as full length comedies. His upcoming projects, Nadodi Mannan and the untitled project with Jose Thomas, also shall be of the same genre. It needs to be seen how Saddam Sivan performs.

Q : Can you provide us a list of ATBBs in Malayalam Cinema ?

A : Boxoffice status prior to 1985 is pretty much an unknown territory to today’s media and info sites. Chemeen and Angadi are sure shots to be in the list. ATBBs are predominantly decided by footfalls, ie number of people watching the movie from theatres. From information available, the ATBBs since 1985 are  Rajavinte Makan, New Delhi, Chithram, Kireedam, Oru Vadakkan Veeragadha*, Kilukkam, Manichithrathazhu, Narasimham, Meesamadhavan, Rajamanickyam, Classmates, Twenty 20, Pazhassi Raja*, Pokkiri Raja and Mayamohini. (*Oru Vadakkan Veeragadha and Pazhassi Raja caused losses to the makers, but are ATBBs on the basis of footfalls)

Q : Is there chance for an All Time Blockbuster in 2013 ? If yes, which film ?

A : It needs a lot factors to come together to form an ATBB. A mass opening, with a good word of mouth is indispensable. Festival season, solo release, holidays, etc also play crucial roles. Considering the above points, Dileep’s untitled project with Jose Thomas, which is announced as the big Onam release, seems to be the best bet this year. A mass initial is almost guaranteed, and it is a festival release with holidays coming in. Further the main competitor is touted to be Mohanlal’s thriller Memory Card, which is of a different genre.
