Malayalam superstar Mammootty and youth icon Prithviraj's Pokkiri Raja, written and directed by debutant Vysakh (a former assistant of Joshi and Johnny Antony), has created box office history by collecting a distributors' share of Rs. 2.21 crores in its opening week from 110 screens in India.
As per reports, Pokkiri Raja reached the new high, thus breaking the existing record of last year's multi-starrer Twenty:20, which collected Rs. 2.03 crores in the first week.
Featuring Mammootty and Prithviraj as brothers, Pokkiri Raja begins with a flashback story of two brothers Raja (Mammootty) and Surya (Prithviraj), in which Raja is sent to juvenile home and then exiled to Madurai, where he grows to be the Pokkiri Raja, a popular don.
15 years later, Raja takes a contract to kill a rowdy in Kerala, but later realises the victum is none other than his own brother Surya, who impersonates a police inspector to catch a college rowdy who was harassing the police commissioner's daughter (Shriya Saran). What happens next forms the rest of the film.
