Christopher Day 2 Box Office Collection: Graph Slows Down Like The Screenplay!

Mammootty's Christopher earns 1.5 Crores in India on the second day of its release. It is too less when compared to its day one collection. 2 Crores on Day 1 and 1.5 Crores on Day 2 is an average opening for Superstar Mammootty Film. Since today is not much impressive, it needs a huge growth in next three days collection. Fact is that general audience will go to theatres only when they hear positive reviews. But Chrostopher fails to do so. The film doesn't impress the audience and film critics mainly due to its slow paced screenplay.

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?".

Mammootty, who is known for his good acting, didn't even try to act in it. Mammootty appears in all the scenes as if he had sprinkled water on the face of a person who woke up from sleep. Despite the loss of his adopted daughter, he did not show any emotion on his face. Mammootty is cheating the fans by trying to move his arms and legs in the fight scenes.

Aishwarya Lekshmi as Ameena - Aishwarya, who is a different woman in all the films, comes as a lawyer who fights injustices in this film. Aishwarya makes us feel emotional in the scene where she is on the verge of dying.

Sarathkumar does an important cameo role. He comes as a police officer named Vetri Vel. Actress Vasanthi, who appeared in the role of 'Agent Teena' in the film Agent Vikram, surprised the fans by appearing in the character of Vadivukarasi in Christopher. She could have been given a little more work in the film.

Vinay as Villain - Vinay, who made his debut as a villain in Doctor, tries to show the same villainy in Christopher. He shows his cruel face in the scenes where he silently approaches his wife and threatens her.

Actresses who have done the job perfectly - Mammootty's ex-wife and Home Minister Sneha looks good despite her age. Amala Paul comes across as an honest police officer and a sexually victimized woman.

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.
