'Minnaminnikkoottam' picks up

Kamal's latest 'Minnaminnikkoottam' featuring a lot of artists from the youth brigade, picked up after a lame start. This weekend was one of the best for the movie, better than the first weekend with houseful shows in all major cities. The movie has now got its share of family viewers who has steadied the collections in all cities. And if this trend goes on for another couple of weeks, the movie may well end up as a safe earner. With no big releases for another couple of weeks, the chances are high for 'Minniminnikoottam' for a safe landing. Meanwhile the director of the movie, Kamal has unleashed heavy criticism on the fan following of the superstars who are alleged to engage in booing of small films, all through the screening. He hinted that there seems to be some hidden agenda behind this planned pandemonium, deliberately created in the theatres. He also noted that this 'hoot brigade' is going to cause unpardonable destruction to Malayalam cinema.
