​Kerala box office: Comrade In America off to a flying start, reports average

Malayalam actor Dulquer Salmaan's new film Comrade In America released today. Directed by Amal Neerad and produced by Ajmal Khalid, the film stars Mammootty's son in the titular role of a young Communist follower Aji Mathew. Touted to be a romantic thriller, Comrade In America marks the acting debut of Karthika Muralidharan. The film also stars Priyanka Nair, Chandini Sreedharan, Soubin Shahir, Dileesh Pothan and Jinu Joseph.

As per early Friday reports, Comrade In America has opened to a flying start at the Kerala box office. A big opening was always on the cards as Comrade In America is the third biggest release of Malayalam cinema history after Pulimurugan and The Great Father. The Dulquer Salman starrer had released in 200 screens across the cinemas of Kerala.

However, the reports of Comrade In America are not as good as Dulquer's previous super hits Jomonte Suviseshangal, Kali and Kammattipaadam.

The film is said to be under-promoted which will definitely affect the collections of the film. In addition to that, Baahubali 2 is still going strong at the box office.
