Prithviraj 2015 Overview: A year which is made memorable by Moideen Prithviraj was in fact going through a lean patch in his career till September this year. It has all started after the success of Sapthamasree Thaskaraha which was a 2014 September release. After that Prithviraj had really longed for a great success and it had not happened till this year September 19. That means he had to wait exactly one year to give a solid hit at box office and when he did that it was something very big. Picket 43 This Major Ravi directorial film was the first release of Prithviraj this year. The film had got good critical appreciation and an average success at box office as well. But as a star it did not much good to Prithviraj. As an actor everybody appreciated his performance as Havildar Hareendran Nair. The film had grossed around 5 crore from Box office. Ivide This Shyama Prasad directorial flick was his second release this year and it ha Nivin Pauly along with him as well. Even though it got critical appreciation for his superb acting skills, the film was a disaster at box office much to the dismay of both Prithviraj and Nivin Pauly. As per reports it only did a business around 2.5 cr from box office. Double Barrel This Lijo Jose Pellissery film was a highly anticipated one due to its Multi-star cast including Prithviraj Sukumaran, Indrajith Sukumaran, Arya, Sunny Wayne, Asif Ali etc. It was financed by Prithviraj as well. And to be honest it was the biggest disaster of this year and grossed only around 3-4 crore from box office. Ennu Ninte Moideen The string of box office failures for Prithvi is just over from September 19, the day on which RS Vimal directorial Ennu Ninte Moideen released. The epic love story of Moideen and Kanchanamala had become a classic through this film and it had become the first solo Blockbuster of Prithviraj as well. The film had collected around 40 crore from Kerala alone as per reports and now on the way to become the second biggest hit of All-time in Kerala box office. Amar Akbar Anthony This Nadirsha directorial Multi-starrer which had Prithviraj, Jayasurya and Indrajith in lead roles had become another Blockbuster of this year for Prithviraj and it had collected more than 30 crore rupees from the box office Anarkali This one was directed by Sachi and the film got positive reviews all over. Even though it did not made that much impact as Moideen and Amar Akbar Anthony, it also got into the list of successful films of Prithviraj. As per now it had collected around7-8 crore from box office and sure to end up as a super hit It has to be noted that all the 3 successes of Prithvi this year is with debutant directors like R S Vimal, Nadirsha and Sachi. This year also witnessed him crossing the 100 crore total business mark in Mollywood for the first time by any actor here through all his films released this year as well. What made him different from other stars this year is, he had balanced well with characters that challenges him as an actor and also boost his star value. Hope he will continue his good run next year as well. http://www.onlookersmedia.in/movies-list/prithviraj-2015-overview
Mohanlal 2015 Overview : Disappointment overshadowing box office performance ! Mohanlal, who is without out, the best actor living in our country today and unarguably the mast valuable star here in Mollywood had gone through a pretty disappointed year in 2015. Even though he showed his box office power through some flicks, the actor in him disappointed many as he had not played any character which challenges him as an actor. He had 6 releases in 2015 and 2 of them are cameo roles. Among the 4 releases of his own, he had two successes and two failures. When it comes to box office success he maintained a fair status. But what makes us all disappointed that not even a single character played by him this year justified his out of the world kind of talent as an actor and the selection of movies also don’t seems going wise. Rasam This one is the first film of Mohanlal released in 2015. This was directed by Rajeev Nath and he had played only a cameo in this film as Mohanlal himself. Indrajith was the hero of this film and it was a big failure at box office. Even though we can’t count this failure as his because its not his film. But some says that he should not have done such guest roles in the name of friendship. Ennum Eppozhum This flick directed by Sathyan Anthikkad was his second release this year which came in March last week. In box office performance it was a super hit with 11 crore gross and playing close to 9K shows. But have to say that the film is not at all up to the mark when we think of a Mohanlal- Sathyan Anthikkadu film as they had given many classics. Mythri This is the Malayalam dubbed version of a kannada film acted by him and it was a failure here. We can’t blame him for that aswell because he just played an extended cameo in it. Kannada films usually does not have any market here and that also affected the film. Even though it was a super hit in Kannada and Mohanlal got appreciation there. Laila O Laila The film by Joshiey was a big failure at box office. The film had raised great anticipation before release but failed miserably to impress the audience. Mohanlal had nothing to do in it as an actor or as a star as he had just sleep walked through the film owes to a bad screenplay and disastrous direction. Here again the film selection of Mohanlal have to questioned. Loham This film was a highly anticipated film of this year from Renjith- Mohanlal team. The film followed an experimental style and generated mixed reviews. But Mohanlal showed his box office power and once again proved that in crowd pulling he is the best here. The film had collected a gross above 13 crore and attained super hit status despite reviews which are mostly negative. The film had created a record as well as it had become the highest first day grosser in Mollywood history by grossing 2.16 cr from its first day from Kerala alone. It surpassed Mohanlals own casanovva record of 2.13 cr. Kanal Even though the film had something different in it in its story telling, it was also a disappointment for Mohanlal as it had failed in box office as well. The film had only got a gross around 3.5 crores from box office and made no impact critically and commercially as well. Mohanlal have to understand what he is capable of and had to choose wisely. Financially his films were safe as his crowd pulling capacity is unbelievable. But he is an actor first, then only a star. So he had to choose characters that challenges him as an actor. He had lots of great and big project coming next year and hope that he will be back to his charismatic best in near future. http://www.onlookersmedia.in/movies-list/mohanlal-2015-overview
