Now,
we
have
another
reason
to
say
that
Mohanlal
is
the
real
King
of
Box
Office.
The
year
2016,
so
far
has
been
a
good
one
for
the
actor
as
he
has
churned
out
back-to-back
hits,
with
Pulimurugan
being
the
latest
one.
In
fact,
his
last
three
films
Pulimurugan,
Oppam
and
Janatha
Garage
have
turned
out
to
be
big
blockbusters.
This
makes
him
the
first
superstar
of
Indian
cinema
who
has
earned
3
back-to-back
blockbusters
in
a
single
year.
Janatha
Garage,
which
released
in
the
month
of
September,
did
enter
the
100-Crore
club
in
no
time
and
is
the
highest
grosser
of
Tollywood
in
this
year,
so
far.
Oppam,
which
was
the
Onam
release
of
this
year
again
fetched
gold
at
the
box
office.
The
movie,
so
far
has
grossed
58
Crores
from
the
worldwide
box
office.
Meanwhile,
Pulimurugan,
which
released
on
October
7,
2016
has
turned
out
to
be
an
industry
hit.
It
is
not
for
the
first
time
that
Mohanlal
has
had
a
hat-trick
of
successes.
Here,
we
list
the
5
previous
instances
when
Mohanlal
got
back-to-back
successes.
Grandmaster-Spirit-Run
Baby
Run
The
year
2012
was
indeed
a
good
one
for
Mohanlal.
After
the
debacle
of
Cassanova,
Mohanlal
was
in
need
of
a
hit
and
Grandmaster
came
in
at
the
right
time.
Ranjith's
Spirit
continued
Mohanlal's
winning
streak
and
he
achieved
hat-trick
of
hits
with
his
film
Run
Baby
Run,
which
emerged
as
a
blockbuster.
Christian
Brothers-China
Town-Pranayam
All
the
three
films
were
released
in
the
year
2011.
Christian
Brothers
and
China
Town
were
multi-starrers
and
both
the
films,
despite
getting
not
so
favourable
reviews,
emerged
as
super-hits
at
the
box
office.
After
these
movies,
Mohanlal
came
up
with
critically
acclaimed
Pranayam,
which
also
turned
out
to
be
a
hit.
Baba
Kalyani-Chotta
Mumbai-Hallo
Baba
Kalyani
was
Mohanlal's
Christmas
release
of
the
year
2006.
The
film
managed
to
get
a
hit
status.
The
film
was
followed
by
the
superhit
entertainer
Chotta
Mumbai,
which
was
the
Vishu
release
of
2007.
Later,
the
actor
came
up
with
Hallo,
which
turned
out
to
be
a
blockbuster.
Naran-Thanmathra-Rasathanthram
Mohanlal
offered
three
classy
films,
of
three
different
genres.
Naran
was
in
the
lines
of
a
mass-entertainer
whereas
Thanmathra,
directed
by
Blessy,
was
a
classic
movie
which
did
decent
business
at
the
box
office.
Rasathanthram,
which
marked
the
reunion
of
Mohanlal-Sathyan
Anthikkad
team,
was
a
family
drama
and
the
movie
turned
out
to
be
a
blockbuster.
Aaram
Thampuran-Kanmadam-Harikrishnans
Out
of
the
above
listed
three
movies,
Aaram
Thampuran
was
released
in
the
year
1997
whereas
the
other
two
movies
were
released
in
the
year
1998.
Aaraam
Thampuran
emerged
as
a
blockbuster
whereas
Kanmadam
directed
by
Lohithadas
was
labelled
as
a
hit.
Harikrishnans,
which
had
Mammootty
and
Mohanlal
in
the
lead
roles
also
turned
out
to
be
a
blockbuster.
Mohanlal's
next
release
of
the
2016
is
Munthirivallikal
Thalirkkumbol,
directed
by
Jibu
Jacob.
The
film,
which
is
in
the
lines
of
a
family
entertainer
would
hit
the
theatres
on
December
22,
2016.
Let
us
wait
and
see
whether
that
film
too,
would
turn
out
to
be
a
big
hit.
