Tiger, Thanmatra limping!


Thanmatra and Tiger limping at the Kerala box-office is bad news for Mohanlal and Suresh Gopi!! Both films did not get a grand opening; it remains to be seen whether collections will improve during the Christmas weekend and holidays starting from December 23. Thanmatra at the prestigious Shenoys in Ernakulam, the house of hits, has registered only a 63 percent opening during the weekend. In Thiruvananthapuram, Mohanlal's bastion and a place known for its intellectuals and connoisseurs of good cinema, the film did only 68 percent at Dhanya a small screen theatre! Suresh Gopi's much hyped Shaji Kailas directed Tiger just failed to roar and collections started dropping after noon show on opening day. In desperation, the makers chopped the film by 20 minutes but it has not helped the film in any way. At Ernakulam, the film was shifted from the huge Saritha to a much smaller screen Savitha in three days! Now all eyes are on Mammootty's Christmas release Bus Conductor releasing on December 23, which opens in 51 screens and is expected to take a bumper opening.
