Mammootty's
latest
flick
Maya
Bazaar
released
on
Wednesday
(October
1),
has
opened
to
a
good
response
across
centres
in
Kerala.
Maya
bazaar
opened
in
93
centres
in
Kerala,
breaking
all
previous
records
in
the
number
of
release
centres.
The
film
is
expected
to
fetch
great
initial
collections
in
the
opening
week.
For
the
first
time
ever
in
the
history
of
Malayalam
cinema,
some
centres
like
Kuzhithara,
Kallachy,
Kollamkodu,
Ezhupunna
and
Oyoor
got
first
release
prints
and
it
was
a
feast
for
the
fans
there,
who
solemnly
celebrated
the
arrival
of
a
big
new
movie
in
their
home
theatres.
According
to
experts,
this
will
create
new
enthusiasm
and
renewed
interest
from
the
people
of
these
villages.
Notably
Maya
Bazaar,
which
marks
the
debut
of
director
Thomas
Sebastian
and
scripted
by
T.A.
Razack,
was
released
only
in
B
and
C
class
theatres
due
to
the
recent
controversy
between
Cine
Exhibitors'
Federation
(CEF),
an
organization
of
'A'
class
theatres
in
Kerala,
and
Kerala
Film
Producers
Association
(KFPA)
about
the
number
of
releasing
centres
of
Mammootty's
Maya
Bazaar
and
Mohanlal's
Kurukshetra.
In
the
film,
Mammootty
plays
the
role
of
'Akkiri'
Ramesh
who
buys
old
cars,
dismantles
them
and
sells
the
spare
parts,
operating
out
of
Maya
Bazaar,
the
market
where
spare
parts
are
sold.
The
film
has
two
heroines:
Sheela,
who
has
acted
in
several
Tamil
and
Telugu
movies,
and
Tisca
Chopra
of
Tare
Zameen
Par
fame.
