It is a Friday that will decide the fate of every movie. However, some movies, even if made with impeccable quality and all the elements needed to impress audiences will fail to make it big at the box-office.

The Gulf Indians presents you with the list of five Mollywood movies that surprisingly flopped at the box-office, and later became classics.

Azhakiya Ravanan

Azhakiya Ravanan is a real gem of a film, that follows the life of Shankar Das (Mammootty), a billionaire who tries hard to reclaim his lost love. From classic comedy sequences to heart touching emotional moments, the film has all the ingredients to satisfy audiences. However, upon its release, the film bombed at the box-office, but the songs became chartbusters.

Mammootty, in several interviews, had revealed that no other failures have made him as sad as the failure of this movie at the box-office.

Later, when the film had its television screening, it was well-received by audiences. The comedy scenes featuring Sreenivasan and Mammootty are considered the epitome of natural humor, and television channels still used to screen the movie in prime time, considering the acceptance of viewers.

Mithunam

Yes, you heard it right. Mohanlal’s evergreen family drama Mithunam was not a super hit at the box-office. Even though the film had all the elements needed to impress audiences, the film failed to make it big at the box-office.

Years later, television gained popularity, and the film successfully achieved cult status among family audiences. Directed by Priyadarshan, this film featured Urvashi playing the role of Mohanlal’s wife, and it narrated the story of a struggling small scale businessman. The film is loaded with several natural humor-filled scenes, and by the end, it also gives a powerful message.

Guppy

Guppy released in 2016 was a masterpiece from director Johnpaul George. However, the film bombed at the box-office, despite receiving positive reviews from all corners.

In 2016, Tovino Thomas was not a highly popular name among Mollywood audiences, and it is considered one of the major reasons behind the film’s bad run at theaters. However, upon the release of its DVD, the film became a hot pick among young audiences in the state.

Chandrolsavam

At the time of Chandrolsavam’s release, Mohanlal was continously doing mass characters, and audiences expected the same from this film, penned and directed by Ranjith. However, the film narrated a touching love story, and due to this single factor, this classic movie emerged as a box-office flop.

Later, upon the release of its DVD, Chandrolsavam gained a classic status, and the dialogues penned by Ranjith is still considered evergreen by many.

Thoovanathumbikal

Surprised to see Thoovanathumbikal in this list? But you should know that this touching love story of Jayakrishnan and Clara was a box-office bomb, as this film was much ahead of its time.

Now, every monsoon reminds us of Clara, but in 1987, audiences turned their face against this movie, as they believed that a love story between a call girl and a farmer was so weird, and against the pseudo morality of Keralites.
