Aaraattu,
the
Mohanlal
starrer
had
a
massive
release
on
February
18,
Friday,
after
a
long
wait.
The
movie,
which
is
directed
by
B
Unnikrishnan
has
been
receiving
mixed
reviews
from
the
audiences
and
critics.
And,
the
latest
reports
suggest
that
Aaraattu
has
slowed
down
at
the
box
office
on
its
second
day,
owing
to
the
reviews.
According
to
the
trade
experts,
the
Mohanlal
starrer
has
made
a
total
gross
collection
of
around
Rs.
9.5
Crore
at
the
worldwide
box
office,
within
the
first
2
days
of
its
release.
Even
though
Aaraattu
is
still
delivering
decent
box
office
figures,
it
is
definitely
struggling
to
match
up
with
the
collections
of
Mohanlal's
previous
theatrical
release.
As
reported
earlier,
the
Mohanlal
starrer
has
made
a
total
gross
collection
of
around
Rs.
6
Crore
from
the
worldwide
box
office,
on
its
Day
1
at
theatres.
Aaraattu
has
made
a
total
gross
collection
of
Rs.
3.85
Crore
from
the
Kerala
box
office
alone.
The
movie
has
made
a
net
collection
of
Rs.
3.08
Crore,
with
a
share
of
1.79
Crore
from
the
state.
However,
Aaraattu
is
expected
to
witness
a
rise
in
the
collection
on
its
third
day
of
release,
as
it
is
Sunday.
The
Mohanlal
starrer
is
performing
well
at
the
UAE-GCC
box
office
while
compared
to
Kerala,
the
rest
of
India,
and
the
rest
of
the
world
box
office
thanks
to
the
superstar's
massive
fan
base
in
the
region.
Aaraattu
is
struggling
the
most
at
the
rest
of
India
box
office,
as
the
movie
had
minimal
pre-release
hype.
The
B
Unnikrishnan
directorial,
which
features
Mohanlal
in
the
lead
role,
features
an
extensive
star
cast
including
Nedumudi
Venu,
Saikumar,
Vijayaraghavan,
Siddique,
Indrans,
Raghavan,
Nandu,
Kochu
Preman,
Ramesh
Kottayam,
Johny
Antony,
Ashwin
Kumar,
Lukeman,
Sheela,
Swasika,
Malavika,
Rachana
Narayanankutty,
and
so
on
in
the
supporting
roles.
Rahul
Raj
has
composed
the
songs
and
original
score
for
the
movie.
Aaraattu
is
bankrolled
by
RD
Illuminations
and
MPM
Group.
