Big Bang Ramzan Battle at the Mollywood Boxoffice.!

As the holy Ramzan season comes to a close, the Mollywood is geared up for a mouth watering clash at the boxoffice. The distributors are still in hunt for their preferred theaters, and the exhibitors are keeping their fingers crossed that they do get the best bet among lot to exhibit and cash in the money, before another set of biggies release in September for Onam. All in all, Mollywood is going to be a happening place here on till December.

The first entrant is Samir Tahir's Neelakasham Pachakkadal Chuvanna Bhoomi, releasing on 8th August, before Eid. Dulquar Salman is on a roll after ABCD, and it needs to be seen whether he has the star power to carry a good film on his shoulders despite the bottle neck competition for this Ramzan. Sunny Wayne appears in a ntable venture after the successful Nee Ko Njaa Cha. Will this turn out to be ultimate litmus test for Dulquar ?

Mammootty looks to take his successful 2013, to a whole new level, with Kadal Kadannoru Mathukutty. The brand Ranjith sells like hot cake in Mollywood, and the film has already earned a whopping amount against satellite rights. The film is expected to take a brilliant opening, and if the content is half as good as Pranchiyettan, Mathukutty will end up a Hit.

Lal Jose is aiming for his fourth successive hit with Pullipulikalum Aatinkuttiyum. Kunchako Boban needs to get out of the hole which he finds himself this year, after 3 Dots and God For Sale, had bombed heavily. The families shall definitely prefer a light hearted Lal Jose film, and there lies the hope for success for this venture. Normally Lal Jose films score heavily in the long run, which will be missed this time around with a galore of releases coming up, unless an extra ordinary word of mouth is secured.

Prithviraj stars in Jeethu Joseph's fourth directorial venture - Memories. It is notable that Memories has won some key big capacity theaters in metros, which may play an important role in getting it a much needed initial, though the trailers and songs do not suggest that it is a mass film dependant on the initial pull. Unless the content is fabulous, Memories may find its way ahead tough.

The King of Festival Releases comes 2 weeks late this time around, which is a bit absurd. Dileep's track record with mass festival releases have been impeccable and unmatched in the last 5 years, which leads us to the question why Nadodimannan is pushed 2 weeks back to a late release of September 23rd, and that too with his Onam flick Sringaravelan scheduled just weeks later. The industry is not as big to accommodate to 2 mass films from the same actor at the same time, which leaves Nadodimannan with just 3 weeks to cash in, and shall severely impact Sringaravelan's opening. But do not be surprised if this flick ends up the winner after all.!
