Christopher Box-Office Collection Week 1: Below 5 Crore Opening Weekend For A Mammootty Film!
When it comes to a box office clash, Mammooty's new film Christopher collects lesser than Mohanlal's digitally remastered Spadikam with just 8 minutes of freshly added portion in it.
Mammootty's
Christopher
is
declared
as
a
failure
at
the
box
office.
The
film
fails
to
reach
5
crores
on
its
opening
weekend.
People
started
saying
that
Mammooty
should
focus
more
on
his
script
selection
when
it
comes
to
commercial
cinema.
The
major
problem
with
almost
all
the
Superstars
in
India
is
that
they
are
not
giving
more
importance
to
writing.
There
may
be
a
lot
of
reason
behind
it,
but
a
film's
success
primarily
depends
only
on
the
script.
Getting
great
appreciation
for
Nanpakal
Nerathu
Mayakkam
and
suddenly
giving
a
flop
like
Christopher
made
Mammookka's
fans
disappointed.
Christopher
is
a
film
in
which
Mammootty,
who
is
considered
one
of
the
Malayalam
superstars,
plays
the
hero
in
the
role
of
a
policeman.
Not
only
Mammootty,
the
film
also
stars
Amala
Paul,
Sneha,
Vinay,
Sarath
Kumar
and
a
lot
more
known
actors.
Malayalam
fans
and
Tamil
fans
who
love
Malayalam
films
have
been
waiting
for
this
film
for
a
long
time.
Christopher
(Mammooty)
is
an
honest
police
officer
working
in
Ernakulam,
Kerala.
He
is
popularly
known
as
an
'Encounter
Specialist'.
But
among
the
police
officers,
he
gets
the
name
of
'angry
cop
who
takes
the
law
into
his
own
hands'.
Christopher
shoots
5
men
for
raping
a
woman.
Due
to
this,
the
case
is
being
investigated
against
him.
Amala
Paul
comes
as
the
investigating
officer.
Sitaram
Thirumurthy
(Vinay),
a
big
business
man,
is
killing
his
wife
for
working
against
him.
Mammootty's
adopted
daughter
Amina
(Aishwarya
Lekshmi)
is
involved
in
this
case,
and
Thirumurthy
kills
her
as
well.
Did
Christopher
managed
to
take
revenge
against
Thirumurthy?
Was
Ameena's
death
justified?
Climax
is
the
answer
to
such
questions.
Although
the
first
half
of
the
film
moves
at
a
fast
pace,
in
the
second
half
you
can
hear
the
yawning
sounds
of
the
moviegoers.
With
a
predictable
screenplay
and
three
quarters
of
the
story
with
no
twists,
the
fans
start
chanting
"when
will
the
climax
come?".
Overall,
Christopher
stands
out
as
a
two-and-a-half-hour
decent
action
thriller
and
a
film
that
speaks
out
against
violence
against
women.
But
just
like
a
well-made
cake
is
spoiled
by
pouring
poor
cream
at
the
last
moment,
Christopher
movie
is
spoiled
by
a
poor
screenplay.
With
a
little
more
twists
and
suspense
sprinkled
in,
Christopher
would
have
been
talked
about
even
more.
