Malayankunju,
the
survival
drama
that
features
Fahadh
Faasil
in
the
lead
role,
hit
the
theatres
on
July
22,
Friday.
The
project,
which
is
helmed
by
Sajimon
Prabhakaran
and
scripted
by
Mahesh
Narayanan,
has
opened
to
highly
positive
reviews.
As
per
the
latest
updates,
Malayankunju
is
also
off
to
a
good
start
at
the
box
office.
According
to
the
latest
reports
from
the
trade
experts,
Malayankunju
has
made
a
decent
opening
collection
at
the
box
office
by
making
a
gross
collection
of
around
Rs
2
Crore
on
its
release
day.
The
survival
drama
had
a
slow
start
at
the
box
office
with
below-average
advance
booking
rates
and
low
audience
rush.
But
things
changed
after
the
first
show,
as
the
Fahadh
Faasil-starrer
started
receiving
excellent
reviews
from
both
the
audiences
and
critics.
From
the
matinee
show,
Malayankunju
has
been
witnessing
a
decent
audience
rush,
which
resulted
in
getting
a
good
start
at
the
box
office.
The
first
and
second
shows
especially
were
great
in
most
of
Kerala
and
overseas
releasing
centers.
If
things
go
at
the
same
rate,
Malayankunju
will
definitely
have
an
excellent
first
weekend
at
the
box
office.
The
word-of-mouth
publicity
and
great
reviews
are
playing
in
favour
of
this
Sajimon
Prabhakaran
directorial,
which
was
released
without
a
massive
pre-release
hype
despite
having
a
highly
promising
star
cast
and
crew.
But,
the
exceptionally
positive
response
that
the
film
has
been
receiving
is
compensating
for
it.
Fahadh
Faasil
played
the
central
character
Anil
AKA
Ani
Kuttan,
a
mechanic
in
the
film,
which
marked
his
reunion
with
director
Mahesh
Narayanan.
Malayankunju
which
is
bankrolled
by
veteran
filmmaker
Fazil,
features
an
extensive
star
cast
including
Rajisha
Vijayan,
Indrans,
Jaffer
Idukki,
Arjun
Ashokan,
Deepak
Parambol,
Arjun
Ashokan,
Johny
Antony,
and
others
in
the
supporting
roles.
