The family entertainer, which has bagged U certificate from the regional censor board is sure to enjoy tremendous opening day business without any competitors on the same day. Not just that, the Kerala audience are expected to flood the theatres as they have been eagerly awaiting the release of a Malayalam movie for quite a long time.

As of now, the movies of Dulquer, who enjoys fabulous fan following in Kerala, have performed well at the box office, and Jomonte Suviseshangal has been scheduled to release outside the state on the same day itself that will help the family entertainer to earn well. Looking at the pre-release hype of the upcoming movie, it is sure to become one of the winners of the season.

Munthirivallikal Thalirkkumbol

On January 20, Mohanlal's family entertainer Munthirivallikal Thalirkkumbol will be locking horns against the Dulquer-starrer. So, will it affect the opening day business of the movie at the Kerala box office? Like any superstar movies, Mohanlal's projects have always performed well on the first day of its theatrical run, as he enjoys good fan following all over the state. Thus, the production venture of Sophia Paul is also expected to repeat the same success formula of any Mohanlal movie.

Also, after three back-to-back blockbusters in 2016, the actor has been tagged as the box office king of 2016 and expectations are sky high from his upcoming movies. Therefore, despite the tight competition from Jomonte Suviseshangal, the Jibu Jacob directorial has the chance to make good business on the opening day.

The teaser, trailer and songs of Munthirivallikal Thalirkkumbol have already impressed the audience, who have been awaiting to see the onscreen chemistry of Drishyam-couple Mohanlal and Meena again with this movie. Watch Punnamada Kayal song
