All times in EST +10:30 for IST.

As per box office reports after 21 days It is clear from various sites that ratings are:

1. Manassinakkare
2. Pulivaal kalyanam..
3. Chakram
4. Pattanathil...

Break to Jayaram and Jayasurya . Iam really happy for them being a film fan.. Komaaly's movie has ended last . hope in the long run Chakram will come up and Patanathil sundaran ends up at fourth place. I dont want that buffoon to spoil MALAYALAM FILM INDUSTRY.

Sundaran is a clear flop according to sify which used to praise Dilip.

Iam hoping the same fate for runway and all his new movies but not sure.
By the way has anyone seen the song "Gujarthi kalthala kettiya...." from pulivaal kalyanam it is melodious and nice to watch.. Jayasurya singing and kavay dancing in a show.

  Velli Naksthram has the top five films updated.
  
  1 is Manassinakkare, then Pattanathil Sundaran.
  
  Its true that a dileep film has no chance when there are some good movies from LAL, MAMMOOTTY, Suresh gopi, and JAYARAM (???).
  
  People can't see komali other than in a thara comali roles. he will be finished after RUNWAY.

  edo V go to box office collections u need to pay read that page .. i went through it. there it is evident that Pattanathil collections have dipped so much in the third week situation is like this in TVM city after 21 days.
  
  Manassinakkare - Ajantha 16 lakhs
  Pulivaal kalyanam - sreekumar 13 lakhs.
  Pattanathil - newtheatre 11 lakhs.
  
  Pattanathil collected 10 lakhs from 14 days where as Pulivaal collected 9 lakhs and manassinakkare 12 lakhs.. so in one week span both Pulival and Manassinakkare had a steady 4 lakh increase while pattanathil barely one lakh that too from the largest theatre in Trivandrum.
  
  Most of the release centres have shifted sundaran after two weeks. It is a big flop. Komaaly can do only komaalytharam .. iam really happy to hear that Dilip lost to Jayaram and Jayasurya.
  
  List of komaaly flops last year
  
  1.sadanandan
  2.gramaphone.
  3.mizhirandilum
  4.W&L
  5.now Pattanathil sundaran..
  
  ha ha .. hip hip hurrah!!!!!!!!!

  how come u r saying pulival kalyanam is a hit? In vellinkshathram top10, it is at 4 th place(after pattanathil & chakram). If pattanathil is a flop then pulivaal should be a bigger flop

  hey man Pulivaal is a hit .. pattanathil is a flop check sify,, if u had paid the vellinakshatram site u can go inside and get the collections ..in TVM it had just an increase of one lakh while other two manassinakkare and Pulivaal had abt 4 lakh increase.. they didnt update the top section that is it and to ur information after two weeks that crap was shifted from most of the release centers.
  
  San check these it is sify they would never say a Dilip movie a flop unless it is:

  vishamam undo komaaly padam poliyunnathinu.. ?? Jayasurya is their to replace that komaaly who is more handsome and talented than Dilip. Then why should we bear that midget buffoon???

  whatz the final report on chakram?
  
  i heard that pulivaal is a crass comedy. i have watched sundaran, which is a crap movie, no doubt. but, both dileep & navya have given a decent performance.
  
  leave it anyway, atleast itz a family subject, and definitely a welcome change 4 dileep.
  
  no reason 2 smile if sundaran is a flop.. and no reason 2 laugh if pulivaal is a hit!
  
  1.sadanandan
  2.gramaphone
  3.mizhirandilum
  4.W&L
  
  ithiloke dileep puthiyathayi enthengilum cheyyan sramichittillee.. i think that effort shud b appreciated.
  (ee movies njan kandittilla.. correct me, if i am wrong!)
  
  ee thilakkam, moosa model movies hit aavunnathil aanu vishamam. allathe sundaran flop aayal enthanithra santhoshikkan? anyone...

  EO,
  There is no problem in Dilip trying to do different things but the problem is that he has been elevated to a superstar even before proving himself in different types of roles... all his successful movies have been in the comedy genre ... so these failures are only to underline that he has not successfully presented anything other than Thara comedy...
  
  Lets leave Dilip alone, his ready made replacement is already available - Jayasuria
  
  Regarding Chakram, the reports I have read/heard are totally contrasting, few people say its nice and few say its terrible... theres no middle ground... it seems the char is something that is not suitable for a 22 year old as its a char that requires the maturity via the hardships faced... the story is about him being a good gambler who makes 5 or 6 lorrys and gets cheated and then seeks revenge... too much squeesed into too little

  Jom,
  
  I am more interested in the fate of chakram than any crap pulivaal or sundaran. let both bite the dust.. who cares?
  
  on chakram.. heard enough on the quality of the film, wud like 2 know abt the collections. any figures available? atleast some approximations..

  I think chakram flopped. No shows in TVM from today.

  san , Dilipinodu virodhamennu parayaan enikkenthu personal grudge?? just like Jom said he hasnt proved yet .. athinu munpe aavashyamillatha sthaanam kitti.. he is successful only in CRAAS COMEDIES.. aa categoryil thanne pulliyude comedy kaattilum jAYASURYUDE comedy kettal enikku chiri varum.. eg : Swapnakoodu..
  
  As jom said Dilip's replacement is Jayasurya.. look at the projects like Chathiyan chandu, pulivaal kalyanam the same genre of movie which Dilip did a year or two back.. and Dilip cant make aserious movie hit like sadanandan, Pattanathil, mizhirandilum, gramaphone..Jayasurya is better looking than Dilip.. pinne enthinu Dilipinu aavashyam illatha praadhaniyum kodukkanam??

  Manassinakkare is a gud movie.. Sathyan has done an excellent job.. the cast esp. jaryaram, sheela, nayanthara, innocent and siddiq deserve a special mention.. sheela was there 2 watch the show with us (;-)) in anand theatre. she looks gorgeous even in her 50s.
  
  the main drawback is that the plot is 2oo predictable! @ no point, u feel surprised by the turn of events. and 2wards the climax, the movie waz over-stretched a bit. esp. the 2 songs come after 2 1/2 hrs (a movie shudn't go beyond, i always believe), and u'll start lookin @ ur watch! they shud've been a bit more careful on the editing table.
  
  but, ranjan pramod has done a decent job, not with the story, but with the script. story is a mix-up of a few old wines. but, he has not let loose any characters or situations, and he cud handle them with conviction. and of course, ilaiyaraja and azhagappan really scores! though, the background score is a let-down.
  
  and 2 conclude, don't expect another "thoovalkottaram or "veettukaryangal" with this one. bcoz, though sathyan-jayaram is there 2 delight us, the "lohi touch" in the script and dialog is missing!
  
  overall a decent fare! 3/5 ;-)

  I too watched it this weekend. It was a pretty good movies. I thought it had a pretty good message too.
  1. Sheela tells that "Njan ente makkale orikkalum kuttapeduthilla. Avar kaanikkunna dayakku polum njan arhayalla. Njan ente mathapithakkalkku orikkalum santhosham nalkiyirunnilla".
  2. Makkalude avaganayil Sheelayude character orikkalum thalarunnilla.
