The
legendary
Mohanlal
is
one
of
the
most
respected
names
in
the
Malayalam
film
industry
today.
Fondly
referred
to
as
the
'Complete
Actor',
the
veteran
enjoys
a
massive
fan
following
thanks
to
his
good
looks,
charismatic
personality
and
remarkable
range
as
an
actor.
Over
the
years,
he
has
also
starred
in
several
classics
and
this
has
established
him
as
the
undisputed
king
of
M-town.
Now,
the
star
is
in
the
limelight
for
a
shocking
reason.
As
it
so
happens,
his
Neerali
has
underperformed
at
the
box
office
and
is
set
to
become
a
disaster.
The
film
hit
the
screens
on
Friday
(July
13,2018)
and
it
has
failed
to
click
with
the
fans.
Day
4
Collections
According
to
Forum
Keralam,
Neerali
managed
to
collect
merely
Rs
1.49
Lakh
at
the
Kochi
multiplexes
on
the
fourth
day.
Its
total
collections
at
the
Kochi
multiplexes
stand
at
Rs
16.35
Lakh.
The
Occupancy
Isn't
Great!
The
average
occupancy
is
around
25
per
cent
and
this
indicates
that
the
WOM
is
not
too
favourable.
To
make
matters
worse,
this
figure
is
likely
to
drop
further
in
the
days
to
come.
Koode
Is
Likely
To
Add
To
Neerali's
Woes
Anjali
Menon's
Koode
seems
to
be
doing
well
at
the
box
office
and
has
managed
to
impress
the
critics.
The
favourable
WOM
is
likely
to
help
it
emerge
as
the
top
choice
of
the
movie
buffs
over
the
weekend.
And,
needless
to
say,
this
might
spell
trouble
for
Neerali.
Yet
Another
Setback
For
Lalettan?
The
year
2017
wasn't
a
very
good
one
for
Mohanlal.
His
Velipadinte
Pusthakam
turned
out
to
be
a
big
flop
and
failed
to
impress
the
critics.
His
next
big
release
Villain
too
did
not
live
up
to
the
expectations.
Initial
trends
suggest
that
Neerali
is
going
to
add
to
his
worries.
The
Road
Ahead...
Neerali
is
not
a
typical
Mollywood
film.
And,
as
a
result,
there
wasn't
enough
buzz
around
it.
As
such,
it
needed
a
favourable
WOM
in
order
make
an
impact
at
the
box
office.
However,
this
did
not
happen
and
it
failed
to
set
the
BO
on
fire.
Neerali
is
unlikely
to
pick
up
in
the
days
to
come
and
its
fate
is
pretty
much
sealed.
