Malayalam
Cinema
had
witnessed
66
movie
releases
when
2015
is
heading
towards
its
second
half.
But
among
them,
only
6
movies
managed
to
perform
really
well
and
taste
the
success
at
the
box
office.
Even
though
many
well-crafted
movies
were
released
this
year,
a
very
few
of
them
were
recognized
by
the
audience
and
critics.
It
is
highly
disappointing
that
some
extraordinary
films
went
totally
unnoticed.
Sand
City,
directed
by
actor-filmmaker
Shankar
Panicker
was
the
first
release
of
the
year.
The
movie
was
a
critical
and
commercial
disaster.
Lavender,
directed
by
Altaf
T
Ali,
is
the
latest
release
of
the
year.
The
movie,
which
has
Rahman
in
the
lead
role,
also
went
unnoticed.
Picket
43,
the
Prithviraj
starrer
movie
directed
by
Major
Ravi
is
the
first
profitable
venture
of
the
year.
The
movie
was
widely
praised
by
the
audience
and
critics.
It
earned
a
decent
box
office
collection
as
well.
Mammootty
and
Nivin
Pauly
are
the
only
stars
who
managed
to
deliver
two
box
office
successes
this
year.
Mammootty
had
two
releases
so
far
and
both
the
movies
performed
well
at
the
box
office.
Nivin
Pauly,
who
had
four
releases,
is
the
star
of
the
year.
Two
of
his
films
emerged
as
blockbusters.
Premam,
his
recently
released
movie
directed
by
Alphonse
Puthren,
has
already
emerged
as
one
of
the
highest
ever
grosser
of
M'town.
Oru
Vadakkan
Selfie,
directed
by
G
Prajith
is
also
a
blockbuster.
Fireman,
directed
by
Deepu
Karunakaran
was
the
first
Mammootty
film
which
hit
the
theatres
this
year.
Despite
the
lukewarm
critical
response,
the
movie
performed
really
well
at
the
box
office.
Bhaskar
The
Rascal,
the
Siddique
directed
Mammootty
movie
has
also
earned
the
blockbuster
status.
