Karmayodha Malayalam Movie Review and Box Office Collection Report



REVIEW :

                Directed by Major Ravi, Karmayodha starring Mohanlal is mainly meant for Mohanlal fans. This is the first time that director Major Ravi has got out of the military barracks to tell a story. Mohanlal has come up with yet another great performance with some good one-liners and fight sequences. Mohanlal as mad maddy successfully carries the burden of the whole movie. Mad maddy is brutal and uncompromising when it comes to dealing with criminals and perverted anti social elements, who treat women as commodities and objects of pleasure.  
               Casting seems to be imperfect whereas the villain was superb. Cinematography by Pradeep Nair is good. Music by MG Sreekumar didn't keep up the expectations. Background score by Jeffrey Jonathan is really appreciable.
              Karmayodha will not let you down like previous movies of Major Ravi. Theme of the movie seems good and realistic. Scripting could have been better with a better climax. The movie makes a promising start but towards the climax the film loses it's hold as things get predictable.Some sequences reminds us of the movie 'TAKEN (2008)'. 
             Overall Karmayodha is an average movie with many imperfections and primarily made for fans. Major Ravi should refine himself. 

POSTIVES :                                   NEGATIVES :
- Mohanlal                                     - Script - Predictable Climax
- BG score                                     - Presentation
- Dialogues                                     - Songs
- Theme                                                     
                                                     
                                                   
VERDICT : Average
RATING : leaving this stuff for you



BOX OFFICE :
      Karmayodha has released in highest note this Christmas i.e in 87 theaters. But the word of mouth doesn't seems encouraging. The satellite rights of Karmayodha was sold for whooping 3.8 Crores.

Karmayodha has collected 1.65 Crores from first 3 days.....Above Average Opening......Thanks to huge hype and the number of theater releases.
Karmayodha has collected 3.40 Crores in its 6 day run....In total 2,100 theater shows all over india....For the movie to be safe it has to collect around 7 Crores which seems to be impossible.
Karmayodha is estimated to have collected around 3.75 Crores in its opening weekend with a distributors share of 1.8 Crores.
Karmayodha is not expected to have a long run and the collections may fall more than 60% in its second week which will decide its fate.
The Christmas releases' race has shifted from Karmayodha and Bavuttyude Namathil to Bavuttyude Namathil and Da Thadiya.
Karmayodha has collected an approximate 4.30 Crores in its 13 days run. So far the theatrical show count has reached 4,250. Huge number of removals are expected in the third week. The current trend shows that Karmayodha won't reach 5 Crore mark.
Surprisingly, Karmayodha still holds up in 30+ theatres even after an average second week. The film got saved from a huge fall. With 5,200 shows, Karmayodha successfully grossed 4.60 crores in 20 days.
The huge hype and a good initial collection saved Karmayodha from a huge fall. The movie is expected to be an average grosser.

  4. The script writer should have given credit to the English film TAKEN (lead actor Liam Neison-2010)for certain situations and dialogues as the film is a faint copy of it.

  8. GOOD REVIEW...

    It seems like this films Cost of Production + Post Production amount is less than 6 Cr.
    So if the film has already got 3.78 cr rights then why this movie should collect 7 Cr to become safe...?
