Paappan,
the
Suresh
Gopi
starrer
that
hit
the
theatres
on
July
29,
Friday,
has
made
a
fantastic
start
at
the
box
office.
The
investigation
drama
helmed
by
Joshiy
has
emerged
as
Suresh
Gopi's
biggest
box
office
opener
to
date.
As
per
the
latest
updates,
Paappan
witnessed
a
major
rise
at
the
box
office
on
its
second
day
of
release.
According
to
the
trade
experts,
the
Suresh
Gopi
starrer
has
made
a
gross
collection
of
Rs.
1.88
Crore
from
the
Kerala
box
office
alone,
on
its
second
day.
When
it
comes
to
the
worldwide
box
office,
Paappan
has
made
a
gross
collection
of
over
Rs.
2.8
Crore.
In
that
case,
the
Joshiy
directorial
has
already
crossed
the
5-Crore
mark
at
the
box
office,
by
making
a
gross
collection
of
over
Rs.
5.3
Crore.
The
trade
analysts
suggest
that
Paappan
will
witness
a
massive
Sunday
at
the
box
office,
which
might
even
beat
the
Day
1
and
Day
2
collections
of
the
film.
In
that
case,
the
Suresh
Gopi
starrer
might
even
cross
the
10-Crore
mark
at
the
box
office
within
its
first
weekend
(3
days)
of
its
release,
thanks
to
the
highly
positive
reviews,
word-of-mouth
publicity,
and
increasing
number
of
shows
across
the
globe.
The
Joshiy
directorial,
which
is
scripted
by
RJ
Shaan,
is
an
investigative
thriller
that
revolves
around
the
central
character
Abraham
Mathew
Mathan
aka
Paappan,
an
ex-police
officer.
Suresh
Gopi
has
shed
his
much-celebrated
firebrand
police
avatar
for
his
character
Paappan.
Instead,
the
senior
actor
has
delivered
a
controlled,
balanced
performance
in
this
investigation
drama.
Paappan
features
an
extensive
star
cast
including
the
actor's
elder
son
Gokul
