Decent promotional assets and Mohanlal’s presence help the film
The Mollywood family drama has been having fun with decent buzz within the pre-release phase. The recently released trailer gave an impression of a feel-good film, thus grabbing the eye of the family audience. Also, the film has benefited from the halo effect of Mohanlal’s back-to-back money spinners: L2: Empuraan and Thudarum.
Hridayapoorvam is a family drama, so it’s not a front-loaded affair, and quite a bit depends upon how its content seems. Still, attributable to Mohanlal’s presence, it has managed to fetch decent pre-sales of 1.3 crore+ gross (as of 8 pm IST) up to now for the opening day. Even though it is clashing with Kalyani Priyadarshan and Naslen’s Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra, it’s going to still enjoy its own share of audiences.
