Several Indian superstars have struggled to regain their form in the post-COVID era, and Mammootty is one such superstar. Despite featuring in over a dozen theatrical releases, the Mollywood legend has failed to make a strong impact. Yes, he has tasted some box office successes, but overall, his track record has been underwhelming, with only five successful films. Keep reading for a detailed report!
Despite some successes, Mammuka had an underwhelming box office run post-COVID
The post-COVID run of Mammuka began with a super hit film in the form of Bheeshma Parvam. Made on a budget of 15 crores, it earned 43.78 crore net at the Indian box office. It was followed by two consecutive failures: CBI 5: The Brain, and Rorschach. CBI 5: The Brain was reportedly made on a budget of 15 crores, but managed to earn 13.81 crore net. It secured a losing verdict. Even Rorschach was a losing affair, earning 19 crore net against a budget of 20 crores.

It was followed by Kannur Squad, which emerged as a clean hit at the Indian box office. It earned 40.17 crore net against a reported budget of 18 crores. Kaathal – The Core secured a plus verdict by earning 10.87 crore net against a budget of 8 crores.

Post-COVID success ratio of Mammootty
As we can see, Mammootty tasted only five successes out of his thirteen theatrical releases in the post-COVID era. So, by using the formula of [(Super-Hit/Super-Duper Hit + Hit + Plus + Average)/Total Releases x 100 = Success ratio], the success ratio of the Mollywood legend is 38.46%, which is a disappointing number. Let’s hope he bounces back strongly with Kalamkaval.
