Boxoffice performance of offbeat films

Hey guys, offbeat films like Ore Kadal, Paradeshi, Karutha Pakshikal, Kayyoppu, Mizhikal Sakshi are good films and are critically acclaimed too. But they were not well appreciated in boxoffice. It is miserable to see such films removing from theatres two or three days after release. What is the main reason for that? Even some crap films swap the boxoffice but why can't such good films do magic in boxoffice? Inorder to save Malayalam film industry we must have to promote offbeat films.

The main problem I felt is that the people spreading negative rumours without even seeing the film. People say that 'the movie is good but not watchable, it is too slow and dragging'. Such comments would definitely discourage people from watching the film. If you are saying that the film is slow then there will be some people who feel reluctant to watch such movies. The fans must be waiting for entertainers, but the value of these offbeat films is much about these mass entertainers.

The marketing of those films should be encouraged. Further the authorities must promote art films, by reserving certain theatres for such films (like Sree Theatre). I am sure that if the above mentioned films was released some 10 years before, these must be sure hits. However, there are some people who never cares of negative labelling, until and unless they watch the movie, are real lovers of Malayalam cinema. We can see some excellent performance of the actors in these films, rather than mere entertainment.

Mohanlal's Thanmatra and Mammootty's Kazcha are exception to the above. These films can be called offbeat films, but they did well in boxoffice. This is a great encouraging factor. So let us do something to encourage such movies.
