On the first day of Manichithrathazar, there was not much response: Svargachitra Appachan
Manichitrathashar is considered to be the best classic film of all time in Malayalam. The film released in 1993 and directed by Faasil became a huge success. Even today, Manichitrathaar is one of the films that people watch without getting bored. Manichitrathar won National and State awards for popular film and best actress.
Manichithrathazhin is set apart by the exquisite script prepared by blending horror and psychology in equal measure and the magnificent performances of actors like Mohanlal and Shobhana. Now with the help of technology, a remastered 4K version is getting ready for re-release. Film buffs are waiting to see the film that Malayalis have loved for generations to see the silver screen again.
But producer Swargachitra Appachan says that the first release of the film, Pearl, did not get a good response on the first day. Appachan said that he didn’t think anything beyond being a conventional blockbuster film, but slowly the film burned. Appachan said he was surprised to hear that a doctor had seen Manichitra more than 200 times. Appachan was talking to Q Studio.
‘I still vividly remember the first day of Manichithrathazhar. At the time, I had no idea that this was a really scary movie. The first day seemed to be a normal blockbuster. But then the picture was shot. Manichitrathar was shown in theaters for more than 360 days. Most people have seen that movie more than once.
At first I was surprised to hear that a doctor has seen the film more than 200 times. But it was the magic of the film that made him watch it so many times. Manichitrathazh’s script is the kind of script that makes many people think that there is something else in this film, and that is the reason why many people are waiting for its re-release now,’ said Appachan .
