Christopher to Marakkar: Top 5 Malayalam Movies That Caused Biggest Loss For Overseas Distributors

Mohanlal's film Big Brother directed by Siddique got the fifth place in the list of top 5 films which caused huge loss to the overseas distributors. The film caused a loss of 3.45 crores.

Priyadarshan-Mohanlal's film 'Marakkar: Lion of the Arabian Sea' joins the list with a loss of 4 crores to the overseas distributors. As Priyadarshan underlined before the release of the movie, the movie literally tells less history and more imagination. It failed to connect with the audience.

Five films spanning 34 years, with the same lead actor reprising the same character with the same director and screenwriter combination. The curiosity raised by CBI 5 was huge among the Malayalam movie lovers. But the Mammootty film caused a heavy loss of upto 5 crores to the overseas distributors.

Written, directed, and edited by Alphonse Puthren, Gold, starring Prithviraj Sukumaran and Nayanthara in the lead roles created great expectations among fans. The movie is touted to be a comedy thriller. The makers did not involve much in the promotion of the film but still people were eagerly waiting for the film. Unfortnately Gold failed at the box office and it also caused a huge loss of 5.85 crores to the overseas distributors.

Mammootty's Christophar movie directed by B Unnikrishnan tops the chart with a loss of 7.45 crores to the overseas distributors. The film released with the tag line 'Biography of a Vigilante Cop' had great expectations among fans but failed miserably due to the slow paced screenplay by Udaya Krishna. The cinematography of the film was done by Faiz Siddique. It is important to note that Mammootty even went to Dubai as part of the promotion of his film Christopher.
