Debutant director R.S. Vimal's Ennu Ninte Moideen starring Prithviraj and Parvathy in the lead roles is on its way to become a super hit. The romantic saga based on the lives of late activist B.P. Moideen and Kanchanamala is running to packed houses across the state.
Entertainment industry tracker Sreedhar Pillai on Tuesday tweeted that the movie has netted Rs 2.02 crore in three days.

Songs of Ennu Ninte Moideen, the current chartbusters, are composed by M. Jayachandran and Ramesh Narayan while cinematography is handled by Jomon T. John. Gopi Sunder, who is getting accolades for the film's background score, has also composed the song Mukkathe Penne, a favourite of many now.
Outside Kerala release delayed
However, Malayalam film buffs outside Kerala will have to wait a while longer to catch the movie. The ongoing dispute between distributors and theatre owners will result in the film getting releasing outside Kerala only by October 2.
Though it was released in Chennai on Saturday, theatres had to stop the screening due to the said issue.
“#EnnuNinteMoideen after doing 100% occupancy at #Mayajaal Chennai on Saturday & Sunday, stopped from Monday, due 2 pressure from producer!,” Pillai added.
Ennu Ninte Moideen was supposed to hit the screens in Kerala on Friday. The differences between Kerala Film Exhibitors Federation and Film Distributors Association over its wide release pushed the date to Saturday.
