The
first
month
of
the
year
2017
has
come
to
an
end,
finally.
The
year
didn't
start
off
on
a
positive
note
with
theatre
strikes
hampering
the
proceedings.
But,
the
fag
end
of
the
month
has
brought
in
that
much
needed
energy
back
to
the
film
industry.
5
Malayalam
films
made
it
to
the
theatres
in
the
month
of
January.
Dr
Biju's
Kaadu
Pookkuna
Neram
was
the
first
Malayalam
film
to
hit
the
theatres,
which
was
followed
by
small
movies
like
Kaviyude
Osyathu
and
Vinay
Forrt
starrer
God
Say.
But,
the
industry
had
to
wait
till
the
third
week
of
January
for
its
big
releases
in
the
form
of
Dulquer
Salmaan
starrer
Jomonte
Suvisheshangal
and
Mohanlal
starrer
Munthirivallikal
Thalirkkumbol.

having
the
time

has
turned
out
to
be
a

right

away
and
he
undeniably
is
the
real
star
of
the
month.
Movie
Of

the

Performance
Of
The
Month
–
Dulquer
Salmaan
As
Jomon
Well,
Dulquer
Salmaan
did
impress
one
and
all
with
his
portrayal
of
Jomon
in
the
film
Jomonte
Suvisheshangal.
We
saw
a
different
Dulquer
Salmaan
in
this
film
with
the
actor
in
him
excelling
in
both
emotional
and
comedy
sequences
alike.
He

our
performer

the
month.
Movie
That
Deserves
A
Special
Mention
Kaadu
Pookkunna
Neram
did
hit
the
theatres
in
the
very
first
week
of
January.
The
film
was
much
applauded
for
its
quality
content.
The
movie
won
wide
critical
acclaim
but
couldn't
mint
money
at
the
box
office.
Performance
(Special
Mention)
–
Vinay
Forrt
Vinay
Forrt
is
a
real
talented
actor.
And
he
himself
underlined
that
fact
with
his
portrayal
of
the
lead
character
in
this
month's
release
God
Say.
The
actor
excelled
in
his
performance
as
Harichandran,
a
drunkard
who
transforms
after
his
stint
with
a
radio
programme.
Both
Munthirivallikal
Thalirkkumbol
and
Jomonte
Suvisheshangal
have
turned
out
to
be
big
hits
at
the
box
office.
These
movies
are
expected
to
continue
their
good
run
in
the
next
month,
as
well.
Apart
from
the
Malayalam
films,
big
Hindi
movies
like
Raees
and
Kaabil
also
did
hit
the
theatres
in
January.
