Thoppil Joppan, which released on October 7, 2016, has opened well at the box office. The film did face a stiff competition from the Mohanlal featuring Pulimurugan but has done well so far, in majority of the centers. Mammootty has not had a movie in the 30-Crore or 40-Crore leagues, so far. Going by the initial collections of Thoppil Joppan, there are chances for the film to be the highest grossing film of Mammootty, in the long run.
