011 has been
the year of the
multi-starrer in
Malayalam. The big
commercial hits of the year are Seniors,
Christian Brothers, China Town
and to a certain extent Urumi. This year solo hero films from
Mammootty like August 15,
Doubles and The Train along
with Prithviraj's Arjunan
Sakshi and Manikyakkallu have
not worked at the box-office. Remember last year Mohanlal
had a series of solo hero flops
like Kandahar before he
switched to multi-starrersr? No actor other than Dileep and
that too in crass comedies
(Marykuundu Oru Kunjadu &
Karayasthan), is able to make
a solo hero film a hit. On the other hand Mohanlal in
combination with other actors
like Suresh Gopi and Dileep has
made Christian Brothers the
years highest grosser (Rs 18
Crore). Jayaram alone cannot make a
solo hit. But in the company of
Prithviraj (Makeup Man),
Mohanlal and Dileep (China
Town) and Boban Kunchacko,
Manoj K Jayan and Biju Menon (Seniors), could churn out hits. Says leading theatre owner
Jose: "Multi-starrers are the in
thing today, as people just
want entertainment and more
number of stars the better.
Cost of a ticket in the single screens is between Rs 50-60,
while Ernakulam multiplexes
are charging Rs 150 for a
ticket. Collections of Seniors is
three to four times bigger
than a solo hero film." Today Mammootty and
Mohanlal have realised that it
is safer to do multi-starrer
than solo hero films.
Mammootty is doing The King
and Commissoner with Suresh Gopi, an untitled film with
Prithviraj
directed by Amal Neerad.
Mohanlal's Casanova is a multi-
starrer and Lal Jose's Cousins
he has Prithviraj for company. It looks like more multi-
starrer’ s are in the pipeline as it makes commercial sense.
Jayaram is toying with the
idea of doing Happy Husbands
2, while director Lal is planning
to make another sequel to his
Harihar Nagar.
