Malayalam movies "Maheshinte Prathikaram," "Puthiya Niyamam" and "Action Hero Biju" did decent businesses at the United Kingdom (UK)-Ireland box office during the second weekend in March (March 11- 13).
The three movies were opened to positive response from the movie-goers and critics. While Mammootty-Nayanthara-starrer crime thriller "Puthiya Niyamam" collected a gross amount of £2,541 (Rs 2.45 lakh) from 19 screens on the first weekend, Nivin Pauly's "Action Hero Biju" completed three weeks of its theatrical run at the UK box office collecting a gross amount of £2,508 during the weekend with the total collection amounting to £32,620 (Rs 31.43 lakh), according to Bollywood Hungama.
However, it was Fahadh Faasil-starrer "Maheshinte Prathikaram" that ruled the UK box office by collecting £5,274 from 29 screens during its second weekend, making a total gross amount of £32,437 (Rs 31.25 lakh). It has to be noted that the Dileesh Pothan directorial has almost reached the total collection by the Abrid Shine movie within two weeks.
