50-Crore
club
for
Malayalam
films!
10
years
ago,
it
would
have
been
hard
to
think
about
such
a
club,
since
the
market
of
Malayalam
films
was
considered
to
be
restricted
within
the
state
alone.
But,
with
time,
the
reach
of
Malayalam
films
have
attained
newer
heights
and
the
number
of
theatres
in
the
state
has
increased,
which
in
turn
has
helped
Mollywood
to
maintain
such
an
elite
club.
Here,
we
list
some
of
the
Malayalam
films,
which
entered
the
50-Crore
club.
Drishyam
(2013)
Drishyam,
which
released
in
the
year
2013,
was
the
first
Malayalam
film
to
cross
the
landmark.
The
film,
crossed
the
50-Crore
mark
with
ease
and
according
to
certain
reports,
the
film
went
on
to
fetch
75
Crores
from
the
worldwide
box
office.
Premam
(2015)
In
fact,
it
was
Nivin
Pauly's
Premam,
which
was
the
second
entrant
to
this
club.
The
film
was
equally
popular
in
Kerala
and

Premam
too,
crossed
the
50-Crore
mark
in
a
grand
style.
Ennu
Ninte
Moideen
(2015)
Ennu
Ninte
Moideen,
which
had
Prithviraj
and
Parvathy
in
the
lead
role,
did
have
a
slow
start
but
later
cruised
ahead
to
make
it
big
at
the
box
office.
The
film,
reportedly
made
an
excess
of
60
Crores
from
the
worldwide
box
office.
Two
Countries
(2015)
The
year
2015,
was
a
good
one
for
Malayalam
film
industry,
as
far
as
box
office
collections
were
concerned.
Two
Countries
was
Dileep's
first
movie
to
cross
the
50-Crore
mark.
The
film
fetched
gold
at
the
box

(2016)

which
was
one

of
this
year
to
cross
this
mark.
The

join
the
elite
league,
in
style.
Pulimurugan
(2016)
Mohanlal's
Pulimurugan
is
the
latest
entrant
to
this
league.
In
fact,
the
movie
is
also
the
fastest
to
cross
the
50-Crore
mark.
Reportedly,
the
film
only
took
14
days
to

films
in
the
club
whereas
Dileep,

have
one
film
each

the
50-Crore
club.
Meanwhile,
Mohanlal's
Oppam
and
Pulimurugan
are
continuing
their
impressive
run
at
the
box
office.
Pulimurugan
is
on
a
record
breaking
spree
and
all
eyes
are
on
this
film,
since
the
movie
is
expected
to
bring
in
the
100-Crore
club
to
Mollywood,
just
like
the
way
Drishyam
introduced
the
50
Crore
club.
Well,
success
of
these
many
films
is
definitely
a
huge
boost
for
the
industry.
These
films
have
proved
that
Mollywood
is
not
far
behind
any
other
language
film
industries.
