The
year
so
far
has
been
a
good
one
for
Malayalam
film
industry,
with
movies
like
Munthirivallikal
Thalirkkumbol,
Ezra
and
Jomonte
Suviseshangal
involved
in
a
neck-and-neck
race.
Interestingly,
Prithviraj
starrer
Ezra,
which
released
on
February
10,
2017
has
now
overtaken
the
collection
of
Mohanlal's
Munthirivallikal
Thalirkkumbol,
in
one
of
the
major
centres.
In
Kochi
multiplexes,
Ezra
went
on
to
collect
1.89
Crores
in
17
days
of
run
and
thus
beating
the
collections
of
Munthirivallikal
Thalirkkumbol,
which
has
collected
1.88
Crores
so
far,
from
38
days
of
its
run.
Both
the
films
are
doing
good
business
at
the
Kochi
multiplexes
even
now
but
it
is
Ezra,
which
is
now
crusing
ahead
of
Munthirivallikal
Thalirkkumbol
at
a
faster
rate.
Earlier,
Ezra
went
on
to
become
the
fastest
entrant
to
the
1-Crore
club
at
the
Kochi
multiplexes.
Ezra
is
also
sure
to
cross
the
2-Crore
mark
at
the
Kochi
multiplexes
and
the
film
is
maintaining
good
occupancy
in
the
theatres,
even
now.
We
have
to
wait
and
see
whether
Ezra
will
go
on
to
become
the
highest
grosser
of
Prithviraj
at
the
Kochi
multiplexes
or
not.
Prithviraj
movies
like
Ennu
Ninte
Moideen
and
Amar
Akbar
Anthony
had
also
grossed
above
2-Crores
at
the
Kochi
multiplexes.
