The
malayalam
cinema
industry
is
back
in
the
throes
of
crisis.
The
industry
is
yet
to
have
the
first
hit
of
2015.
Approximately,
32
movies
have
released
in
Malayalam
within
a
time
span
of
2
months.
Among
the
32
releases
movies,
very
few
of
them
managed
to
gain
the
attention
of
audience
and
media.
Major
Ravi's
Picket
43,
which
had
Prithviraj
in
the
lead
role,
and
Deepu
Karunakaran's
Mammootty
starrer
Fireman
were
the
only
movies
which
did
a
decent
business.
The
highly
anticipated
releases,
including
Fahadh
Faasil's
Mariyam
Mukku
and
Haram,
Jayasurya
starrer
Aadu
Oru
Bheegara
Jeeviyanu,
Rajesh
Pillai's
Mili,
which
had
Amala
Paul
in
the
title
role
etc
terribly
failed
at
box
office.
2015
started
with
actor
Shankar
Panicker's
directorial
venture
Sand
City,
which
was
a
huge
box
office
disaster.
The
first
bunch
of
major
projects
hit
the
theatres
on
January
23rd;
in
which
only
Picket
43
managed
to
survive.
The
first
weekend
of
March
had
5
releases
and
all
the
movies
miserably
failed
at
the
box
office.
There
won't
be
any
major
releases
in
the
upcoming
weekend.
And
thus,
the
last
two
weeks
of
March
are
very
crucial
for
the
Malayalam
cinema
industry.
Dulquer
Salmaan
starrer
100
Days
Of
Love
is
expected
to
release
on
March
20th.
As
per
the
reports,
Nivin
Pauly's
Oru
Vadakkan
Selfie
and
Mohanlal-Manju
Warrier
starrer
Ennum
Eppozhum
will
also
hit
the
theaters
on
March
27th.
In
April,
the
industry
will
have
some
prestigious
projects
releasing;
including
Mammootty
starrer
Bhaskar
The
Rascal,
Dileep's
Ivan
Maryada
Raman,
Jayaram's
Sir
Cp
etc.
Audience
are
eagerly
waiting
for
the
first
blockbuster
of
the
year.
