T 20 is still the King in Kerala?
A controversy is brewing in Malayalam trade circles. The producers of
Pokkiri Raja has claimed that it is a bigger hit than Twenty:20, by
collecting a distributors share of Rs 2.20 crore in its opening week
from 110 screens in India (90 of them are in Kerala).
Now Dileep’s right hand man Vyasan Edavanakad, General Manager
(Distribution), Manjunatha Release, the distributors of Twenty: 20
says: “It is a cock and bull story that Pokkiri Raja has beaten T:20
record in its first week. Our film has got a distributors share of Rs
3.11 Crore from 113 screens in Kerala in its first week. Please note
we were selling the ticket for the first two days of the film’s
release at Rs 100 in all screens, before a court order came. Pokkiri
Raja balcony ticket was sold at Kavitha Ernakulam at Rs 70 and Apsara
in Kozhikode at Rs 60, while in most of the other places it was Rs 50
or less than that. Any which way you look, Twenty:20, is the record
holder and the highest collecting film in history.”

Vyasan also points out that when a Malayalam film is declared a hit,
immediately the makers say that it has beaten T:20 record. Says
Vyasan: “We challenge those who claim to have broken T:20 record, to
prove it. Our DCR (Daily Collection Report) will show the truth. For
example in Ernakulam we screened our film in four screens (Sarita,
Savita, Sangeeta and Kavita), while competition claims a new record
after screening in a single screen (Kavita)?”

I didnt know that Pokkiriraja has become a rave in kerala, And still competing with All time hit in mallu industry (20-20 ), this is unbelievable :)
In this era, a movie is just a product to sale in the market , so its more of busineess than art and i think Vaishakh has done the right thing here by putting the appropriate mix of flavours to keep malayalis happy and special mention to the combo with golden pen, Siby-Uday, you proved it, a script writing is more easy than scribbling notes :)
Congratz to whole team of PRaja, for making an Oldest wine with Super stars. keep doing this , we are fated for this
