Mohanlal teamed up with acclaimed filmmaker Lijo Jose Pellissery for his latest outing, Malaikottai Vaaliban. The Malayalam superstar played the titular character in the movie, a period fantasy drama. Malaikottai Vaaliban made a massive opening at the box office by collecting around Rs. 12.2 crore on its release day.
The fans of Lalettan were excited about the film, but when it was finally released, they were in for a big disappointment. Malaikottai Vaaliban faces troubling box office figures despite high production costs. The movie opened well, but the below-par word of mouth has massively affected its box office prospects.
The Lijo Jose Pellissery directorial witnessed a further dip in its collections on Day 4 and its first Sunday at the theatres. However, Malaikottai Vaaliban has reportedly managed to cross the Rs. 20 crore mark at the worldwide box office. Malaikottai Vaaliban made a total collection of over Rs. 20 crores at the worldwide box office when it completed its first weekend at the theatres.
However, it could be more impressive, considering the period fantasy film was made with a massive budget of over Rs. 60 crore. The movie crashed after a decent start even in the Overseas and the rest of India. Overall, the film is heading towards epic disaster status at the box office.
