Barroz box office collection day 1: The Malayalam-language fantasy film Barroz was released in theatres on December 25 with much ado about it being shot in 3D. It marks Mohanlal’s foray into directing, with the actor also playing the titular role. According to Sacnilk, the film is estimated to have collected ₹3.65 crore net in India on its opening day.

Barroz box office collection

The website reports that Barroz is estimated to have collected ₹3.65 crore net approximately on its opening day. This is a dismal number compared to what his previous release, Malaikottai Vaaliban, collected in January this year.

The previous film, directed by Lijo Jose Pellissery, had made ₹5.65 crore net in India on its opening day. But that film also saw a dip in collections due to lukewarm reviews, making ₹13.97 crore in its 18-day run. It had made ₹29.75 crore worldwide. Given Barroz’s openings, how it’ll fare in the coming days remains to be seen.

Mohanlal in acting in Hindi

Mohanlal promoted Barroz extensively before its release, and during the film’s promotion in Mumbai, he was asked if he would act in Bollywood. He replied, “I have done a couple of Hindi films also (Company, RGV Ki Aag). But now, most of my other films are dubbed into Hindi. When somebody calls me for a role I'll definitely come and work. I don't mind. I don't have a choice. As actors, we don't have a choice. Let it come. Let it happen.”

About Barroz

Barroz features Mohanlal as the titular character, with Maya Rao West, Cesar Lorente Raton, Ignacio Mateos, Kallirroi Tziafeta, Nerea Camacho, and Tuhin Menon in key roles. The film adapts Jijo Punnoose’s novel Barroz: Guardian of D'Gama's Treasure. While Mohanlal’s performance has been praised, the film has been criticised for lacking depth.
