The dream run of two films at the box office has infused a fresh lease of life for cinemas in Kerala.
Actor Vijay’s Leo directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and Mammootty’s Kannur Squad helmed by Roby Varghese Raj have helped exhibitors sail through amid a string of flops in the Malayalam film industry since January 2023.
According to Film Exhibitors’ United Organisation of Kerala (FEUOK), Leo has earned a record-breaking Kerala gross of over ₹40 crore in eight days of its release. Kannur Squad has netted over ₹30 crore earnings from screens in the State since its release on September 28.
