Written
by

and
directed
by
Gitanjali
Selvaraghavan,
Maalai
Nerathu
Mayakkam,
which
was
released
on
January
1st
2016,
received
average
to
positive
reviews
from
critics.
But
will
that
help
the
movie
at
the
box
office?
Trade
analysts
think
so.
Starring
a
host
of
newcomers,
the
film
gained
popularity
because
of
Selvaraghavan's
involvement
in
the
project
and
rightly
so.
In
that
context,
the
film
will
have
its
own
set
of
audiences
and
thus
might
collect
big
by
the
end
of
its
opening
weekend
(first
three
days).
But,
thanks
to
a
bold
attempt
by
the
husband-wife
duo,
Maalai
Nerathu
Mayakkam
might
fail
to
pull
in
family
audiences
into
cinema
halls
and
that
might
turn
out
to
be
the
biggest
drawback
of
this
film,
in
terms
of
its
box
office
collections.
Considering
all
these
factors
and
valuable
inputs
from
trade
experts,
Maalai
Nerathu
Mayakkam
might
gross
close
to
6.5
Crore
rupees
from
its
opening
weekend
in
Tamil
Nadu
alone.
The
capital
city
Chennai
is
expected
to
contribute
handsomely
towards
the
overall
collections
of
the
movie,
which
is
produced
by
Kola
Bhaskar.
