NEW MALAYALAM MOVIES 2016 RATING MOVIE
But the movie was not a run of the mill gangster story. When ace filmmaker Rajeev Ravi joined hands with young star Dulquer Salmaan for a movie, that too a gangster story, expectations were obviously on the higher side. Kammattipadam (Mollywood’s answer to Gangs of Wasseypur) Action Hero Biju also had a theatrical run of over 100 days. Though the movie received negative response initially, it gradually picked up at the box office thanks to the good word of mouth and the right promotions from the makers. The movie was truly a revelation that showed the other side of a police officer’s day to day life from having to deal with petty eve teasing cases to turning one on one with dreaded criminals. AHB was poles apart from the usual cop stories centering around a single murder investigation.
