Kattalan Box Office Day 4: Antony Varghese’s Michael Universe Takes Disastrous Route On Sunday! (Photo Credit –YouTube) Antony Varghese’s latest actioner, Kattalan, has left everyone shocked with its numbers, but for all the wrong reasons. After generating immense hype as a standalone spin-off and the third installment in the expanding Mikhael Extended Universe (following Mikhael and Marco), the hyper-stylized action film crashed on its first weekend. Sunday is traditionally the biggest day for theater revenue, but Antony Varghese‘s film has crashed on the fourth day. In fact, it is a 75% drop from the opening day, which is shocking and alarming as well! Kattalan Box Office Day 4 On the fourth day, Sunday, May 31, Kattalan earned only 93 lakh at the box office. This is a massive drop from Thursday’s opening day, which brought in 3.8 crore. The film failed to show any growth over the weekend, with Saturday dipping below Friday, and Sunday collapsing under the 1 crore mark. A Sunday collection of 93 lakh against a Thursday opening of 3.80 crore hints …

‘Kattalan’ movie review: A ‘Marco’ universe entry which is hard to sit through

‘Kattalan’ movie review: A ‘Marco’ universe entry which is hard to sit through

Published by Parlour News

Anthony Varghese in ‘Kattalan’. One can sit through something as intolerable as Kattalan only if one can invent some distraction. A possible diversion could be to keep a count of the humans and elephants killed during the film’s two-hour duration. But halfway through, you are bound to lose track as the killings are just too many, even in a single sequence, to get an accurate number. In the end, one realises that the biggest casualty of this relentless assault on the senses is neither humans nor elephants, but cinema itself. The dishonesty of it all is evident in how it treats its characters. To fill the emotional void at the centre of the film, one or two characters, like a physically challenged young girl, are introduced randomly and immediately turned into victims of some violent act, which would then set off some pathos-inducing background score. The writers are clearly not interested in these characters. They are deliberately using them for the film’s emotional impact and to underscore the need for revenge.

Kattalan Movie Review & Rating: About 10-15 minutes into Kattalan, a feeling of puzzlement began to creep in. Suddenly, it felt like I had accidentally fast-forwarded through much of the movie and landed significantly ahead in the runtime, missing key points in the story. But then it hit me: I was in a movie theatre, and our technology hasn’t advanced enough for each person to control the projection in a cinema hall without affecting others’ experiences. After questioning my senses for a few more minutes, I slowly realised the issue lay with Kattalan itself, as the makers seemingly forgot to cover the massive pits they had carved out to trap the wild elephants in the story, rendering the whole movie incoherent.

Kattalan Expands MArco Universe(Photo Credit –Instagram/Prime Video) Malayalam action thriller Kattalan is creating buzz for its gritty action and intense setting. While the film is already being discussed, a new update from the makers has shifted attention toward its deeper connection with the Marco universe. Directed by debutant Paul George, the film is set to offer audiences an interconnected narrative to Marco 2. At the Mumbai premiere of the film, the team revealed that Kattalan will not function as just a standalone action film. Instead, it reportedly plays an important role in expanding the larger storyline that connects to Marco and possibly even Marco 2.

While Marco hinted at an unresolved emotional thread towards its climax, Kattalan is designed to further expand that story and provide context to a larger chain of events unfolding within the universe. Viewers who remember the ending of the earlier film may recall that a child is …
