Rains pour, collections sore:box office top 5

The unprecedented heavy rains that the state has
been witnessing for the last couple of days had marred the prospects of
many new movies at the Box Office. With the superstar movies like 'Ee
Pattanathil Bhootham' and 'Bhramaram' in the fray, the BO was expecting
interesting collections all over for at least a couple of weeks. But
with the heavy rains and floods that had its say at many parts of the
state, the opening collections dip low in the last few days. On
Thursday and Friday, most of the theatres could hardly manage the show
with less than forty percent collections.
Any how, the top five movies at the Box office are

1. Ee Pattanathil Bhootham - This
effects-heavy movie has indeed started with a surprising opening which
persisted for the first four days, after which the houses are
registering a dip at sixty percent. The movie has already changed its
marketing tactics with children now at the end of target points. Let us
have to wait for another couple of week to say how this five crore
adventure, will finally fare at the Box office.

2. Bhramaram - The movie from
Blessy has ignited good reviews and discussions and is widely opined as
one of the best seen in recent times. But in its third week the movie
is witnessing heavy fall in collections with some small stations even
shifting for new Tamil movies.

3. Ivar Vivaahitharaayal
- The debut movie from Saji Surendran, in its fifth week has surprised
everyone with the steady collections that it had in the first three
weeks, though this week was pathetic for this movie too. The movie is
already declared as a hit, in fact the first solo hit for it lead hero
Jayasuriya.

4. Bhagyadevatha
- This already declared hit 'Bhagyadevatha' is nearing its hundred day
run in four theatres in the state. The movie also receive good
collections from shifting centres.

5. Passenger
- The surprise hit from Dileep - Sreenivasan team is in its 75 days.
The movie continues its run in three centres. The shifting centres also
shows interesting collections.
The week though immersed in heavy rains will have
the new flicks like 'Winter' and 'Puthiya Mukham', which is expected to
make a better opening. Also in the theatres are Tamil movies like
'Vamanan' and 'Thoranai', and Hindi movie 'Kambakkht Ishq' and Newyork'.
