National Award Winner Marakkar Flopped: Mohanlal-Priyadarshan Film Fails Box Office Test

• Mohanlal-Priyadarshan's "Marakkar: Arabikadalinte Simham" won 3 National Awards, including Best Feature Film.
• Despite a Rs 100 crore budget, the film collected only Rs 45.4 crore worldwide after its December 2021 release.
• It received negative reviews from critics and fans, failing to meet box office expectations.
• The film had reportedly entered the Rs 100 crore club pre-release due to pricey OTT rights.
• The duo continues to collaborate, with Mohanlal in Priyadarshan's upcoming "Haiwaan" and his 100th feature.

Why It Matters: Marakkar: Arabikadalinte Simham proves critical acclaim doesn't guarantee box office success.
