Why Puli Murugan Stirred Box Office?

Generally, Malayalam films are made with meager budgets based on strong content and impeccable natural essence. In depth characterizations and touching emotional drama matching the tastes of conventional Malayalam cinema lovers was ruling formula for their success, till some time back. However, ‘Puli Murugan’ from Mohan Lal and director Vysakh changed the Mollywood thumb rule because never in Kerala history, a film touched 100 Crores mark and ‘Puli Murugan’ breached Rs. 125 Crores gross easily.

Entire South India was surprised with humongous rise in Mallu cinema trade span and director Vysakh has to be congratulated for serving them a true commercial taste. Right from uncanny buildup shots to breathtaking stunt choreography, everything was newly tested on a Super Star Mohan Lal.

After watching ‘Manyam Puli’ (Telugu dubbed version) yesterday, Telugu critics are surely left repelled. This is a remarkable contrasting situation between Tollywood and Mollywood. While we are striving here for innovative concepts taking inspiration from Kerala film makers, in turn they are attracted more towards our colorful commerciality. That’s the simple and sweet secret behind ‘Puli Murugan’ massive hit.
