Mohanlal Barroz Turned Into Epic Box Office Disappointment

Mohanlal's highly anticipated directorial debut, Barroz, has turned out to be Mollywood's biggest disaster. Despite its massive budget of ₹150 crore and 3D technology, the film's box office performance has been abysmal. The film's worldwide gross collections stood at ₹14.5 crore in the first five days, with a projected closing figure of less than ₹30 crore.

This dismal performance translates to a mere 10% recovery of the production costs, with the final share expected to be under ₹15 crore. Industry insiders are stunned by the film's poor showing, considering Mohanlal's stature and the significant investment.

Although Barroz may garner some revenue from non-theatrical and digital rights, these figures won't compensate for the losses. The film's total earnings are unlikely to exceed one-third of the production budget. This setback eclipses Mohanlal's previous disappointment with Alone, which was intentionally made for OTT release.

Barroz's failure raises questions about the project's ambitious scale and production decisions. Mohanlal's fans and the Malayalam film industry await post-mortem analysis to understand what went wrong with this visually ambitious project.
