The Malayalam film 2018 Everyone Is A Hero, has been minting big at the box office. The film, directed by Jude Anthany Joseph, is having a dream run and moving toward the Rs 100-crore club, a rare feat for a Mollywood movie.
The film is centred around stories of humanity triumphing over adversity in the backdrop of the 2018 floods that devastated parts of Kerala. It is the second Tovino Thomas project to attract national attention and draw an adulatory audience response after the 2021 superhero film Minnal Murali.
Tovino, incidentally, volunteered his services for flood relief back in 2018. In the film, he plays a young man who leaves the Indian Army with a fake medical certificate and redeems himself during the floods.
The ensemble cast includes top Malayalam talents, notably Asif Ali, Kunchacko Boban, Lal, and Aparna Balamurali, among others.
The film, which was released on May 5, raked in around Rs 5.18 crore on its ninth day from Kerala alone, which is an all-time record in Mollywood history. The worldwide collection is reported to be more than Rs 80 crore in the first nine days.
Produced by Venu Kunnappilly, C.K. Padma Kumar and Anto Joseph under the banner of Kavya Film Company and P.K. Prime Productions, the film is the second back-to-back blockbuster from Kavya after the 2022 action-adventure drama 'Malikappuram' starring Unni Mukundan.
