Tovino Thomas is gearing up for the release of Narivetta, slated to hit the screens on May 23. The Malayalam thriller has created a great deal of buzz among fans with its intense trailer. Tovino¡¯s mature avatar too has added to the curiosity surrounding the flick. Narivetta, which has been shot on a small budget of Rs 10 crore, needs to earn over Rs 20 crore worldwide to emerge as a commercial success.?
Narivetta is one of the most talked-about Malayalam films of the month. It has the potential to help Tovino score another big hit after L2 Empuraan in which he was seen with Mohanlal. According to Manobala Vijayabalan,a trade analyst, Narivetta needs to gross somewhere around Rs 25 crore globally to be a commercial success.?
¡°It's a small budget film, hence a positive WoM with decent to good box office figures will make this a profitable affair. The breakeven figure may be around Rs 25 crore,¡± he told Indiatimes.
This means it needs to gross in the Rs 15 crore to Rs 20 crore range in Kerala to be successful.?
Tovino¡¯s films usually pack a punch at the box office. 2018 is a case in point. The survival drama earned Rs 177 crore worldwide. Similarly, Ajayante Randam Moshanam (ARM) made over Rs 100 crore despite mixed reviews. Given Tovino¡¯s star power there is a distinct possibility of Narivetta emerging as a success.?
Narivetta is an action drama directed by Anuraj Manohar. It centres on the sensitive issue of state-sponsored violence. The film features Tovino Thomas, Suraj Venjaramoodu, and Cheran in the lead. Its music is composed by Jakes Bejoy.
