Well,
this
year,
so
far,
has
been
a
good
one
for
Malayalam
film
industry.
Unlike
the
previous
years,
this
year
witnessed
a
surge
in
box
office
collections.
Films
in
the
20-Crore
club
were
only
a
few
in
the
past
few
years.
But
now,
we
can
see
a
good
number
of
movies
making
it
to
the
list.
Here,
we
list

so
far.

Action
Hero
Biju
was
the
first
movie
of
this
year,
to
join
this
list.
The
film,
initially
faced
some
intentional
degrading,
but
later
the
film
made
a
comeback
by
marking
a
strong
presence
at
the
box
office.
According
to

the
film
went
on

run
at

at

was
the

not
so
favourable
reviews,
marched
ahead
at
the
box
office.
King
Liar
did
manage
to
gross
close
to
21
Crores
from
worldwide
box

Vineeth
Sreenivasan's

Swargarajyam
too,
cruised
ahead
at
the
box
office.
The
film,
managed
to
cross
the

mark
and
grossed
close
to

at
the
box
office.
Oppam
Mohanlal's
first
Malayalam
movie
of
the
year
2016
did
create
some
wonders
at
the
box
office.
The
film,
after
opening
to
extremely
positive
reviews,
cruised
ahead
at
the
box
office
and
the
film
crossed
the
20-Crore
mark
in
no
time.
Oppam
still
continues
its
golden
run
at
the
box
office.
Pulimurugan
Nothing
much
has
to
be
said
about
Pulimurugan.
The
film
has
taken
over
the
box
office
and
is
on
a
record
breaking
spree.
The
film
reached
the
20-Crore
mark
in
4
days
of
its
run
and
thus
becoming
the
fastest
to
reach
the
mark.
Meanwhile,
it
is
Mohanlal's
Pulimurugan,
which
is
the
talk
of
the
town.

by
