Mani, the Money Saver
A silent revolution is taking place in Malayalam film industry. 
Or it can be termed the ' Mani magic'.
Recently a series of low budget films made it in the box office only because of Kalabhavan Mani.
Anil C.Menon's Ben Johnson, Anil's Loknathan IAS, Akbar Jose's Andavan and Ravanan were all 'economy' films with the total budget less than 70 lakhs.
That means, a mere two weeks in theaters would've made the films break even.
That was why veterans like Milan Jaleel (Ben Johnson), M Mani ( Lokanathan IAS, Ravanan ) and Siyad Kokker ( Andavan ) agreed to do the production.
When even super stars' films with budget above 1. 5 crores are enveloped by uncertainty, these low cost Mani films are good business sense too, to be sure.
