It's been nearly 9 years since Mollywood's first 100 Cr film — and it was Lalettan who made it happen in 2016.
Then, in 2019, he did it again with Lucifer.
Fast forward to 2023,we had 2018 who made it to the next level and we had a surge in 2024: six films crossed the 100 Cr mark. From stars like Naslen, Prithviraj, Unni Mukundan, Fahadh, Tovino... and even Manjummel Boys without any big names crossed 200 Cr
And just when you thought it couldn't get bigger, Lalettan delivered two consecutive 200 Cr blockbusters. No gimmicks, no hype — just pure dominance.
So, where is Mammootty now? The so-called "Megastar"?
Mollywood's current STAR hierarchy seems clear:
Lalettan — the brand, the benchmark.
New-gen talents — rising, but still chasing his legacy.
Mammootty — still trying to find relevance in this lineup?
No offence intended. But someone had to say it.
