'In Ghosthouse Inn' in the lead

he last week was a more woeful week for the theaters as the cricket (IPL) and the year end exams, did affect their regular collections to a large extent. The week saw a number of new releases, which made great impact at the box office. The current favorites in the list are:The top five Malayalam films of the weekend are:

1.'In Ghosthouse Inn': Director Lal's Vishu offering is a winner in all terms. The film got bumber initial collections even after the mixed responses that it evoked. It is a matter to see, how long the movie can stay at the top. The film may mange well, if it can tide over two more week till the midsummer vacations. The songs of the movie, which were earlier calculated as the weakest highlights of the movie have already become good hits, by now.

2. 'Pramani': Mammootty's family entertainer directed by unnikrishnan has average responses and that is only reason the film is not at the top as is the case of openings of the other Mammootty films. If marketed well the film may prove to become a winner.

3.'Thanthonni': Prithvi Raj's first mass movie in the New Year start with a characteristic ' Prithvi'' opening but have climbed up in the weekend. The film gets good initial responses. But now on to the second weekend, the collection of the film is slipping due to mixed response.

4. 'Happy Husband': This Jayaram- Jayasury starrer is till maintaining its collection graphs an turned our be a first super hit of 2010. The film hasn't taken a fall with the arrival of big blockbusters and is making an inflow of more than fifty percent in major theaters. The film which will reach hundred days next week continues in few release centers.

5. 'BodyGuard': Siddique's biggest film in term of budget, and visual impact is also expected to become Average earner in box office. The film in its 75days doesn't even collect like hit Dileep flick. But collections are better in bigger cities where the family audiences are supporting the movie.

Small banner Mollywood films like 'Nayakan' and 'Valiyangadi' are finding it very hard to get the audience to run at least a couple of shows, a day. The lack of newsprint advertisements and of course outdated plots comes as a suffering to the theatres who prefers Kollywood and English movies than to run these sure non starters..
