Malaikottai Vaaliban director Lijo Jose Pellissery recently remarked that he doesn't adhere to any specific style in his films, preferring instead to draw from his accumulated experiences.
Malaikottai Vaaliban box office collection day 2: The Mohanlal film recorded an India nett collection of just Rs 2.75 crore on its second day in theatres, compared to its opening day figure of Rs 5.5 crore, bringing its total nett collection to Rs 8.4 crore.
Malaikottai Vaaliban movie review: Unlike Mohanlal's recent films, where makers often got carried away by either his stardom or his potential as a performer, Lijo Jose Pellissery's multi-genre movie strikes a fine balance between these aspects, while striving not to compromise on its overall quality.
Reflecting on his decision to join Malaikottai Vaaliban, actor-comedian Danish Sait mentions that, prior to the Lijo Jose Pellissery project, he had never encountered a more nuanced character brief.
Director Lijo Jose Pellissery said that he has infused elements from various folk stories from across the world into Mohanlal's Malaikottai Vaaliban, aiming to deliver a level of excitement comparable to reading Amar Chitra Katha comics.
