Mamangam,
the
upcoming
Mammootty
starrer
is
unarguably
one
of
the
most-anticipated
projects
of
Malayalam
cinema.
The
movie,
which
is
directed
by
M
Padmakumar,
is
all
set
to
hit
the
theatres
on
December
12,
Thursday
as
a
pre-Christmas
release.
As
per
the
latest
reports,
Mamangam
is
expected
to
set
a
record
with
its
theatrical
release.
According
to
believable
sources,
the
Mammootty
project
has
been
slated
to
hit
about
400
screens
in
Kerala
alone.
If
things
fall
in
place,
Mamangam
will
get
the
biggest
ever
release
for
a
Malayalam
movie
in
history.
In
that
case,
the
film
is
expected
to
break
all
the
pre-existing
first-day
box
office
collection
records
of
Malayalam
cinema.
The
trade
analysts
also
believe
that
Mamangam
will
emerge
as
the
biggest
hit
of
Mammootty's
career.
The
movie,
which
is
touted
to
be
a
historical
drama,
is
based
on
the
lives
of
the
Chaavers
who
used
to
attend
the
Mamangam
festival
that
took
place
every
12
years
in
the
banks
of
Bharathappuzha
at
Tirunavaya
of
Malabar
region.
