There is no denying that Manichitrathazhu is one of the all-time favorites of most Malayalam movie buffs. Beginning on August 17, the popular psychological horror thriller was screened on big screens across Kerala once again. The remastered version of the movie is now all set to release in theatres on September 10.
Manichitrathazhu USA re-release date, timing
It has been reported that shows will begin at 6 pm on September 10. Over 30 theatres will run the film on their screens. The pre-booking option is open in some locations, with most of them having 50% of seats already booked. Given the large number of Malayalis living in the USA, Manichitrathazhu is anticipated to garner the same critical acclaim and box office success as its re-release in Kerala. The list of theatres that will be showing the movie has been released by the USA distributor, Prime Media.
Manichitrathazhu made good numbers in box office
Directed by Fazil, Manichitrathazhu is a psychological horror film that is a beloved classic in the Malayalam cinema industry. Originally released on December 25, 1993, the multi-starrer film starred Mohanlal, Shobana, Innocent, Nedumudi Venu, and Suresh Gopi in the key parts. Manichitrathazhu, which was first released more than 31 years ago, returned to theatres this month in 4K remastering. After being re-released, the film earned over Rs 4.50 crore and was well-received by viewers of all ages.
The film centers on an aristocratic family and their beliefs around the ghost of a Tamil dancer called "Nagavalli," who is imprisoned in the "Thekkini," a room located in the mansion's mysterious southern corner. When Nakulan, a family member who has moved to Calcutta, arrives home with his recently married wife Ganga—who is said to have released Nagavalli's ghost from the room—things take a different turn. Nakulan's best friend and eccentric but gifted psychologist, Dr Sunny Joseph, shows in to unravel the mystery behind the strange happenings in the house.
