All-Time Blockbuster '2018' Becomes The Highest-Grossing Malayalam Movie Domestically
Directed by Jude Anthany Joseph, "2018" has grossed 101.30 crores through the 4th Thursday (24 days) which makes it the highest-grossing Malayalam movie of all time at the Indian box office, beating Mohanlal's "Pulimurugan" which grossed an estimated 100 crores (numbers might be manipulated).
The Malayalam trade sources are divided over "Pulimurugan's" box office collection as some of them claim that it didn't cross 100 crores domestically while some claim otherwise. Taking average numbers of Mohanlal-starrer into account, then "2018" is the second 100 crores grosser Malayalam movie ever in India.
"2018", produced by Kavya Film Company and PK Prime Production, is based on actual events during the 2018 Kerala floods. It stars Tovino Thomas, Kunchacko Boban, Asif Ali, Vineeth Sreenivasan, Lal, and Narain with an ensemble supporting cast.
