Rajamanikyam - 2005
Well, nothing much has to be said about this movie, which was a real trendsetter. Rajamanikyam, directd by Anwar Rasheed went on to become an industry hit. The film fetched close to 25 Crores and thereby eclipsing the collection record set by Narasimham.
Mayavi - 2007
The year 2007 started off on a good not for Mammootty. Mayavi, which was one of the early releases of 2007 was a big money spinner. With positive reviews pouring in, the film fetched huge collections at the box office. Mayavi went on to become the top grosser of 2007.

Pokkiri Raja was a big money spinner at the box office. Being a mass entertainer, the film minted huge collections and was declared as the biggest hit of the year 2010.
If you take a close look at the above list, you would get to know that it was Mammootty who dominated the box office in the period 2000-2010. His films did create wonders at the box office back then.
Upto some extent, the decade so far, hasn't been an exciting one for Mammootty. He has had hits like Bhaskar The Rascal, Best Actor, Pranchiyettan And The Saint etc., to his credit, but the audiences are definitely waiting for something big.
His most recent release Thoppil Joppan, which released along with Mohanlal's Pulimurugan, has emerged as a hit. The actor's next release sn The Great Father, directed by Haneef Adeni.
