Paappan,
the
investigation
drama
that
features
senior
actor
Suresh
Gopi
in
the
titular
role,
hit
the
theatres
on
July
29.
The
investigation
drama,
that
marked
Suresh
Gopi’s
reunion
with
veteran
filmmaker
Joshiy,
is
receiving
positive
reviews
from
both
the
audiences
and
critics.
Reportedly,
Paappan
has
made
a
superb
opening
at
the
box
office.
According
to
the
trade
experts,
the
investigation
drama
has
made
an
opening
collection
of
over
Rs
2.5
Crore
at
the
worldwide
box
office
on
day
1.
Thus,
Paappan
has
emerged
as
the
biggest
opener
in
its
leading
man
Suresh
Gopi’s
acting
career,
so
far.
The
reports
suggest
that
the
Joshiy
directorial
made
a
gross
collection
of
Rs
1.81
Crore
at
the
Kerala
box
office,
and
over
Rs
1.9
Crore
at
the
all-India
box
office,
on
its
release
day.

Twitter
Review:
Suresh
Gopi-Joshiy’s
Investigation
Drama
Is
A
Winner!
Even
though
Paappan
has
not
got
a
massive
release
(especially
with
limited
screens
in
small
towns
and
outside
Kerala),
the
movie
is
performing
well
owing
to
the
positive
reviews
and
word-of-mouth
publicity.
The
Suresh
Gopi-starrer
reportedly
had
a
slow
start,
as
its
first
shows
only
had
around
50
per
cent
occupancy.
However,
things
changed
with
the
matinee
shows,
and
the
Joshiy
directorial
witnessed
a
heavy
rush
in
all
release
centers
by
evening.
If
things
go
at
the
same
rate,
Paappan
might
emerge
as
a
massive
box
office
success,
and
probably
the
highest-grossing
film
in
Suresh
Gopi’s
career.
The
sources
close
to
the
project
suggest
that
the
number
of
theatres
might
increase
by
tomorrow,
thanks
to
the
great
reviews
and
increasing
audience
rush.
Paappan,
which
features
Suresh
Gopi
as
a
former
police
officer,
features
an
extensive
star
cast
including
the
actor’s
elder
son
Gokul
Suresh,
Nyla
Usha,
Neeta
Pillai,
and
others.
The
Joshiy
directorial
is
penned
by
the
famous
radio
jockey-turned-writer
RJ
Shaan.
The
investigation
drama
is
jointly
produced
by
Sree
Gokulam
Movies,
David
Kachappilly
Productions,
and
Iffaar
Media.
