Mohanlal-Hero of the Year! Number of releases: 2 Box office performance: Okay, if you consider the Telugu releases Manamantha (as Vismayam in Malayalam) and Janata Garage, there were four releases for Mohanlal, including the blockbuster hits Oppam and Pulimurugan. Consider this. His first Malayalam release of the year was Oppam that came out in early September.
But the film went on to become one of the highest grossers ever in Malayalam. But the next one, Pulimurugan, shattered all box office records and went on to hit the magical 100 crore mark, the first Malayalam film to reach the figure. What’s left in 2016? If the buzz is to be believed, Mohanlal has another winner coming up, the Christmas release, Munthirivallikal Thalirkkumbol.
Mammootty Number of releases: 4 Box office performance: The year started with a fine note for Mammootty, with Puthiya Niyamam receiving a decent opening. But his next release, Kasaba, earned him flak for its dialogues. And the less said about his next release, White, the better. Thoppil Joppan was aimed at the masses and did very average business at the box office. What’s left in 2016? With The Great Father postponed to January, Mammootty will not have any more releases this year. But there is lot of expectations about Ranjith’s Puthanpanam in which the superstar will speak in a Kasaragode accent.
