LAST SIX MOVIES OF MEGASTAR MAMMOOTTY HAS COLLECTED AN ALL TIME RECORD OF 50 CRORE RUPEES GROSS COLLECTION WITHIN THE KERALA CIRCLE AND THE TOTAL GROSS (OUTSIDE KERALA WHICH INCLUDE OTHER SOUTHERN STATES,GULF) IS MIND BLOWING.

"Kazhcha, Black, Vesham, Thommanum Makkalum, Taskaraveeran and Rappakal have totally contributed more than 50 crore gross collection from only kerala centres and this shows the charisma of the megastar.The collecton has indeed uplifted the mallu industry which was huffing and puffing before 2 years"

If we had 5 such "thinking-actors" in the industry,we would have reached great heights way back."

Lal replies " Hard-working mentality, patience, sincerity, desire towards your work - all these are needed to survive in this industry and wonderfully Mammootty is well
