Prithviraj Sukumaran’s latest action thriller Khalifa is making a strong impact at the box office. The Vysakh directorial has crossed ₹35 crore worldwide, emerging as a successful theatrical venture.
The team of Prithviraj Sukumaran, director Vysakh, and writer Jinu Abraham is back with a bang. Their latest film, ‘Khalifa’, is on its way to becoming a blockbuster. The movie is receiving a fantastic response at the global box office. Despite some negative online campaigns, audiences are giving it a big thumbs up. This family-action entertainer has already collected over ₹35 crore worldwide.
What’s really caught everyone’s attention is the support from the world of cricket. Indian cricketers Suresh Raina and Sreesanth both gave a shout-out to ‘Khalifa’ by posting stories on their Instagram accounts. The makers are so confident in the film’s success that they announced a sequel, ‘Khalifa The Legacy’, on the very day the first part was released. Social media is already buzzing with discussions about who will star in the second part.
The film’s highlights are Prithviraj’s mass appeal, high-octane action sequences, and powerful punch dialogues, all set to Jakes Bejoy’s killer soundtrack. Viewers are leaving theatres with positive reviews. Prithviraj’s different look in the film and surprise guest appearances by Mohanlal, Soubin Shahir, and Tovino have also been a massive hit with the audience. Director Vysakh has delivered the perfect Onam entertainer for both families and young people. The combination of Prithviraj’s action-hero persona and Vysakh’s trademark mass-masala direction seems to be a winning formula for the box office. The film’s slick visuals by cinematographer Jomon T. John and sharp editing by Chaman Chacko add to the overall thrill.
