REVIEW :
       
               With Rosshan Andrrews's entirely different presentation and a recent best script by Bobby-Sanjay, Mumbai Police will be liked by most of the malayalam movie goers. The movie was released after many speculations and delays, and the wait has been worth it. The script by the writers Bobby-Sanjay is power packed with twists, turns and it's truly engaging. The plot 'memory loose and search for yourself' maybe similar to many hollywood flicks but this gotta be a truly thrilling story. Rosshan Andrrews is back on track after casanovva. Roshan has conveyed this suspense thriller entirely in a realistic manner. The performance by the lead Prithviraj, Jayasurya, Rahman is commendable. Prithviraj needs a standing ovation for his willingness to act as the lead in this movie. You will know what I meant after watching the movie.
                 Also, Cinematography by R. Diwakar will surely keep you glued to the screen. The music and BG score by Gopi Sunder has very much helped in the totality of this thriller.
                As an end note, the movie will be entirely a new experience for you. This is one of the best suspense thrillers released in malayalam cinema.

BOX OFFICE :

        Mumbai Police was released in more than 80 theaters. The movie has got a good opening at box office with a collection of 75 lakhs in it's first day itself.
        Mumbai Police has collected 1.92 crores in it's 3 day run. The movie is receiving encouraging positive WOM.
        As the movie completes it's first week run, the movie has collected 3.25 Crores in a total of around 1900 theatrical shows.
        Mumbai Police is holding strong in the theaters. With 3,200 theatrical shows, the movie is expected to have collected 5.75 crores as it completes two week run.
        Mumbai Police which had the potential to be a super hit is said to be losing it's momentum at the box office. The movie has already collected around 5.75 Crores in it's three week theater run. The climax suspense of the movie is widely discussed by people and even in the media. Not the content but the fact that suspense is revealed maybe keeping the audience away from the theaters.
        Mumbai Police has collected around 6 Crores. 
Finalised collection of Mumbai Police will be around 6.50 crores and can be classified as a HIT. It's so pathetic when movies like Mumbai Police with amazing script don't even reach the Super hit status. And movies like 'Kammath and Kammath' and 'Sound Thoma' are cashing at the malayalam box office with unbearable scripts. Who told that malayalam audience is selective about the script while going to the cinemas?
