Mammootty's 2016: A Decent Year For The Actor!
Four movies of Mammootty made it to the theatres in 2016. Let us take a look at how the year was for the actor..
The year of 2016 is in its last leg. We are almost half-way through the month of December and the Malayalam film industry has a few more releases on the store, in the form of some big Christmas releases.
Unfortunately, actor Mammootty won't have a Christmas release in 2016. So, the actor has almost wrapped up the year, as far as his movie releases are concerned.
In fact, the actor had lesser number of releases in comparison with the previous years. The year saw four Mammootty movies making it to the theatres and let's see how the year was for Mammootty.
Puthiya Niyamam
Mammootty started off this year with A K Sajan's directorial venture Puthiya Niyamam. The film, made it to the theatres in the month of February and got released amidst the grand run of Maheshinte Prathikaaram and Action Hero Biju. Puthiya Niyamam, received some glorious reviews upon its release and had a good start. But, the film couldn't maintain the same momentum.
Verdict: Hit
Kasaba
Kasaba, which marked the debut of Nithin Renji Panicker, was undoubtedly one of the most awaited Mammootty movies of the year 2016. The film made a grand release during the Eid season and the actor once again proved his crowd-pulling capability with the film making a record opening. But, the movie received mixed reviews, which hampered the progress of the movie. Nevertheless, the film grossed above 15 Crores approximately
Verdict: Hit
White
White did face multiple postponements before finally getting a release date on July 29, 2016. Sadly, the film opened to extremely poor reviews and couldn't make an impact at the box office.
Verdict: Flop
Thoppil Joppan
Once again, Mammootty came up with an entertainer, with a humorous background. The film, released with Pulimurugan, but still managed to host a decent show upon release. The film opened to mixed reviews and reportedly, went on to gross above 10 Crores and ended up as a hit at the box office.
Verdict: Hit
As far as box office successes are concerned, the year was a decent one for Mammootty. But, the actor was clearly missing a real big hit, something in the lines of Mohanlal's Oppam and Pulimurugan, which would have undoubtedly silenced all of his critics.
It also has to be noted that, none of the Mammootty movies received overwhelming positive reviews. In 2015, the actor had Pathemaari, which won him great reviews from all sectors. Clearly, we missed such a performance-oriented role from Mammootty in 2016.
Meanwhile, Mammootty's next release would be Haneef Adeni's The Great Father, which would hit th theatres in January 2017.
