Aanandam,
the
campus
movie
which
hit
the
theatres
on
October
21,
Friday,
has
opened
to
highly
positive
reviews.
The
movie
is
directed
by
debutante
Ganesh
Raj,
the
former
assistant
of
Vineeth
Sreenivasan.
At
the
box
office,
Aanandam
has
succeeded
in
standing
firm
despite
being
released
along
with
a
superstar
film.
The
movie
has
made
a
gross
collection
of
2.2
Crores,
within
the
first
3
days
from
the
Kerala
box
office.
It
is
undoubtedly
an
excellent
box
office
figure
for
a
low-budget
film,
which
stars
newcomers
in
the
lead
roles.
Aanandam
is
expected
to
hit
the
theatres
outside
Kerala
and
India,
by
November
first
week.
Aanandam
also
marked
the
production
debut
of
popular
actor-director-singer
Vineeth
Sreenivasan,
for
his
home
banner
Habit
Of
Life.
The
movie
is
scripted
by
director
Ganesh
Raj,
himself.

Pauly
and
Aju

special
cameo
appearances
in
the
movie,
which
revolves
around
the
IV

of
engineering
students.

Warrier
made
his

direction
debut
