Maheshinte Prathikaram

After a string of flops, Maheshinte Prathikaram could prove to be the comeback vehicle that Fahadh Faasil needs. The film has collected Rs 5.5 crore after 10 days of its release

Box Office verdict = HIT

Action Hero Biju

Nivin Pauly's film, Action Hero Biju opened to mixed reviews. However, the film has displayed an upward trend in collections. However, the film has underperformed - considering the hype after Pauly's back-to-back hits in 2015 - Oru Vadakkan Selfie and Premam. The film, produced by Pauly and made on a budget of Rs 2 crore, crossed the Rs 8 crore mark by its second weekend.

The Dileep, Mamta Mohandas-starrer, which released in Christmas 2015 completed 50 days at the Box Office. The blockbuster film, still running to packed houses collected a massive Rs 33 crores at the end of its 50 days.
