Kannur Squad, the latest blockbuster from Mammootty’s production company, has crossed the 50 crore mark worldwide on October 7, 2023. The film, directed by Roby Varghese Raj, is a thrilling police drama set in the coastal city of Kannur. Mammootty plays the role of SP Anwar Ali, who leads a team of dedicated officers to crack down on a notorious murders part of a heinous crime.
The film has received highly positive reviews from critics and audiences alike, who have praised the stunning performance and direction of the film. Kannur Squad is the second film of Mammootty to achieve this feat after Bheeshma Parvam, but this is the first film under his own banner, which makes it even more special for the megastar and his team. Mammootty’s production company was launched with Rorschach, another critically acclaimed thriller.
Kannur Squad has also benefited from the lack of strong competition at the box office. The film’s main rival, Chaaver, starring Kunchacko Boban, has received average reviews and failed to impress the viewers.
Kannur Squad is expected to have a free run till the release of Leo, starring Prithviraj Sukumaran, on October 19, 2023. Kannur Squad is a clear winner in terms of content and collections, and proves once again that Mammootty is the undisputed king of Malayalam cinema.
