Christopher Box-Office Collection Week 1: Below 5 Crore Opening Weekend For A Mammootty Film!

Mammootty's Christopher is declared as a failure at the box office. The film fails to reach 5 crores on its opening weekend. People started saying that Mammooty should focus more on his script selection when it comes to commercial cinema. The major problem with almost all the Superstars in India is that they are not giving more importance to writing. There may be a lot of reason behind it, but a film's success primarily depends only on the script. Getting great appreciation for Nanpakal Nerathu Mayakkam and suddenly giving a flop like Christopher made Mammookka's fans disappointed.

Christopher is a film in which Mammootty, who is considered one of the Malayalam superstars, plays the hero in the role of a policeman. Not only Mammootty, the film also stars Amala Paul, Sneha, Vinay, Sarath Kumar and a lot more known actors. Malayalam fans and Tamil fans who love Malayalam films have been waiting for this film for a long time.

Christopher (Mammooty) is an honest police officer working in Ernakulam, Kerala. He is popularly known as an 'Encounter Specialist'. But among the police officers, he gets the name of 'angry cop who takes the law into his own hands'. Christopher shoots 5 men for raping a woman. Due to this, the case is being investigated against him. Amala Paul comes as the investigating officer.

Sitaram Thirumurthy (Vinay), a big business man, is killing his wife for working against him. Mammootty's adopted daughter Amina (Aishwarya Lekshmi) is involved in this case, and Thirumurthy kills her as well. Did Christopher managed to take revenge against Thirumurthy? Was Ameena's death justified? Climax is the answer to such questions.

Although the first half of the film moves at a fast pace, in the second half you can hear the yawning sounds of the moviegoers. With a predictable screenplay and three quarters of the story with no twists, the fans start chanting "when will the climax come?".

Overall, Christopher stands out as a two-and-a-half-hour decent action thriller and a film that speaks out against violence against women. But just like a well-made cake is spoiled by pouring poor cream at the last moment, Christopher movie is spoiled by a poor screenplay. With a little more twists and suspense sprinkled in, Christopher would have been talked about even more.
