All the three new newyear releases Kunjaliayan, Asuravithu and Orkut Oru Oormakute has received only lukewarm reception at the Kerala box-office.

At the moment the Sreenivasan comedy thriller Padmashree Bharat Dr.Saroj Kumar is getting above average response. The film has been able to replace Oru Marubhoomikadha  as the number one this month at the KBO. The film has taken a distributors share of 55 lakhs from 70 releasing screens in its opening week (January 14 to 17).

At number two is Mohanlal’s Big Budget flick Oru Marubhoomi Kadha, which is a average hit due to heavy expenditure.  In the third place is Dileep`s Vellari Pravinte Changathi, which is getting only balcony audiences in major towns. In the fourth position is the Mammootty  starrer Venicle Vyapaari, which is a Average hit, as it has taken a share of over 2.3 Crore in 35 days from all centers.

In the fifth place is Jayasury’s Beautiful, which continue its glorious run and celebrated 50 days in Thiruvananthapuram Sree complex. The new releases like Kunjaliayan and Asuravithu are total washouts and will not even recover cost of their prints and posters!
